Add water to it until you can pinch it and it holds together. You don't want it sloppy - it should just be able to be pinched together in a shape.

Good luck.

Look for the other egg and if you don't see one, keep an eye on your gecko. She may be eggbound. On rare occasions they can just have one but I think you should check everything over.

It's not that rare to have females lay only one egg, especially in their first breeding season. I've had a few geckos that have laid only one egg, and they weren't eggbound with another, they only produced that one egg.

She did lay two- the other was under the moss and looked to be pretty dry, but I am incubating them both.
