Put them in a box of perlite/water or vermiculite/water & set them somewhere in your house where the temp is close to 80 degrees. That should be good. I have known people who have incubated eggs in a closet with an incandescent light bulb for warmth. Of course, that was in the summer time! Your eggs should be fine.

You could put them in a deli cup or some sort of rubbermaid container, with some moist vermiculite(or something you would use in the lay box if you don't have any). Then put the cup somewhere between 80 and 90 degrees( high shelf in your house maybe) or in the geckos enclosure where it won't be knocked over.
