Are these eggs?
Hi! We cleaned the leo's viv tonight and found these under one of the hides. Are these eggs? They are stuck to the rock, and stuck together too. THey are flat/deflated looking.
I have no idea how long they have been there (less than a month for sure).
If they are eggs, are they viable? If not, any idea what went wrong?
What should we do now?
By the way (off-topic to this post) I have never seen my geckos shed. We've had them for 6 weeks, but they are adults inherited from a friend.
As always - THANK YOU!!!

Re: Are these eggs?
They look like eggs to me, and they're deflated because they likely wernt laid in the proper laying media like vermiculite or even sphagnum moss. Or because they're infertile. As far as never seeing your leos shed, they may never give an indication they're shedding. Eros' last shed he didn't even ghost up and the only way I knew he shed was a piece stuck to his nose.
Re: Are these eggs?
Yes they are eggs. These were either not fertile to start with, or they died due to be stoof on, or not being put into a incubator within 24 hours of being laid x

Also with shedding. Adult geckos only shed if they have gained weight or grown in length. Most of the time you wont see them shed because they eat it after wards.
Another note with breeding, if thats what you are looking into doing - you have a male and female together if she is producing eggs this late into season. Make sure your female is 60g or more in weight and over 1.5 years of age x

Re: Are these eggs?
Thank You all for your responses.
We have a male and female, so I guess we can expect this 2x a year. It was not our intent to breed, and we were unprepared for the joyful event. We'll try to be more prepared next time around.
Although there is a moss bed in the humid hide, I am assuming I can't trust the geckos to "know" where to lay their eggs.
They are full adult size, so I am assuming immaturity is not the root of the poor egg quality. I think they were probably stepped on, as someone has already stated.
