My Partner got a female Leopard Gecko at the end of May and in the time she's had her she's laid 3 eggs... In the shop he was with a male as they were breeding her, she laid 7 eggs in the shop and they thought she'd finished as she didn't lay anymore for about a week but was still kept with the male...
he first was laid on the 1st June and the other 2 were laid 1 week ago. I've candelled all of them for her and I know for sure that the 2 that were laid 1 week ago are no good so have been frozen. I know this because they were dirty yellow/orange and had mould growing on them, I candelled anyway and there were no veins or anything in them. I put a small cut in them both and the fluid that did come out was a horrible creamy white puss like goo.
The one I'm asking about is the one she laid on the 1st June... Egg A shall we say. Now, I candelled and it looks good. It's still white and has veins in it, looks a nice pink inside but I'm not sure as I can't see any embryo in it at all. I can see a small darker patch and I'm not sure if it's an embryo or just something wrong in the egg. I have pictures of candelling and the actual egg.
Pitures 
Egg.
Candelling.
What do you guys think? Should she keep incubating it or just freeze it? |

Hiya, sorry I've not been able to get on a comp for a while XD
The egg still looks good and now the darker patch is growing so she's going to continue incubating it :) |

A bit too late to freeze it anyway IMO, thats a little Leopard Gecko in there now, not a cluster of cells. So yeah, that darker patch will be the Embryo :) |

And the egg looks good, I'd incubate, no harm in trying if that's what you want to do! |

I would say give it a go , I had my two crestie eggs and I could have sworn they looked bad half way thru incubating , had flecks of mould and didn't look alive inside and to my suprise both hatched , u have nothing to loose until they start to really smell and shrivel up , I've seen mouldy eggs hatch before now . It looks ok in the pics xx |

She's got an incubator and everything but was wondering whether there was any point in incubating due to time between the eggs
I'll keep updating for her. |

If you are able to incubate, and want to go for it, look forward to seeing if it hatches! |

Thanks Figs
I thought it looked healthy but with the other 2 being bad and her not laying between her clutch of 7 in the shop and this one on the 1st of July, I just thought they could have been retained eggs that she was getting rid of..
Between her clutch of 7 that were laid on the 5th May and this one laid on the 1st July... I thought there was really not chance but we'll try. |

am no expert but i'd give incubation a go, it looks nice and healthy.
we have two eggs incubating at work and they look similar, they are due to hatch any time now |
