hi my female gecko just layed two eggs and i was watching her for like the past month but she just layed them tonight and when i finally got to the eggs i noticed they where pretty hard and im guessing thats not a good thing by what ive read and i was just wonder if it is fact that there dead eggs cause i got there to late or will they be fine if they get enough moisture? and while i have them incuebating should i have a lid on the contanier there in?im using the cooler method well im not a expert on all this its my first time so i thought i d ask people thet are more experienced
