the egg is unfertile or possibly the embryo died inside... take a pair of cuticle scissors and very gently and carefully cut the shell open. take a pair of tweezers and gently pull the flap back that you have made... see whats in hter.... like i said it sounds infertile or tat the embryo died IF there is a gecko inside chances are since it already "popped" open he or she wont survive... ibut if the is life in the baby either a) remove it from the egg and egg sac and in clean deli cup with misted paper towels put it back in the incubator or b) leave it in the egg and see if it emerges on its own
