My Gray Bandies eggs have layed out in the open over night. Can they still be alive?

I think they should be fine if they were anywhere near the right temperature and not getting all dried out. If you are not sure wait 60 days and find out but keep them sepperate from your other eggs in case they mold. I feel like some of my eggs have been layed in nest boxes one night and not pulled until the next afternoon, just shy of 24hrs later. I am a fan of not giving up on eggs cause I have had some hatch a week after I was convinced by a roommate not to throw them away (they were covered in mold).

I am sorry to say that if you provided her with a moist hide box to lay in and she didn't use it, chances are they were not good eggs. You should know in a few days, if that is the case the eggs will tell you, they will start to yellow and eventually mold.
Good Luck
Rick
