It should feel like a small inflated leather ball really.
A bit springy to the touch, but not squishy.
If you get a soft pencil and draw a line on the top of it as well, to make sure it doesn't get rotated then provided it incubates OK, and it's fertile, you should get a nice little baby soon. |

The fur could be a little bit of mold, but it shouldn't effect a fertile egg. You could cover the egg with spaghum moss because apparently mold doesn't like the PH of it.
I know you can use atheletes foot powder on corn eggs too, but geckos aren't me speciality so I'd wait to see if anyone else backs me up on that. |

aww thats a shame :(
dont be disheartened though!
if your geckos have layed one, then there are likely a few more clutches on the way!
good luck if you do get more :) |

It could have started to collapse just because of humidity.
Have you candled it at all, just to make sure?
But don't rotate the egg (if you still have it). |
