The black spots could be mold developing. Normally not a huge concern. You could cut back on the humidity a bit since the eggs are nicely formed but add more water if they should start dimpling. Not sure if there is anything you can put on the eggs to kill the mold that wont' harm the embryol inside, perhaps more experienced breeders will know what to advise for that.

I was reading on the leopard gecko forum since I have leopard geckos as well that some people dust the eggs with foot powder to get rid of the mold or the begining signs of mold after they take a moist paper towel and wipe off the mold. I can't remember what kind they said that they use but you could probably hunt it down over there since it wasn't that long ago.
