I'm sorry but the 2 month old will try to eat the babies. You'll need another tank or a non-see-through tank divider if the tank is big enough. If you are so tight on space why are even bothering to incubate the eggs? Don't make things too hard for yourself or your animals. It's not consider cruel if you destroy the eggs instead of bringing the babies into a cruel world.

It all depends on how his tail looks. If it's a sharp 90 degree bend then it could be broken but if it's a normal curve then there is nothing to worry about. When geckos hang upside down it's normal for the tail not to be as horizontal as the body. Also if a tail is broken it usually breaks completely off rather than hanging on by the skin.
