Baffled

Ok I dont get it. My females have been laying eggs like crazy the last couple months. Everytime they were layed in the Shallow bowl full of moss I had provided. Well I dont know what got into her but she decided to lay them in the empty hide on the Paper Towel. When I lifted the hide I saw her laying on them. I gently moved her to see one was totally flat like it was popped during the night. And the other was about half flatened with a dripping hole in the side. Im thinking she could have done this on accident. The 1st time she had eggs I took them out and she seemed pissed at me and stayed laying on the empty pile of moss. I think this time when she layed them in nothin she just sat on them and popped them.. Also, there were a couple crickets in the tank from a feeding last night could they have popped the egg open?? Anything like this ever happen before?? They looked like all the other eggs she has layed meaning they were fertile which is sad... 2 cents needed.

When leo's lay eggs in the humid box, the eggs are about coverd up and can't be smushed. On a flat paper towel, she proly was sitting on it all night and thats why it crushed. When the eggs are layed, you can bend them like hard marsh-mallows and they dry like that, she just set on them a little to much.

Crix poop is like is liek the size of this (,)

She was probly in a hurry, then plop.
