Hey I got my first eggs ever(I'm pretty excited) about a week and a half ago and was wondering if they were infertile would they have caved in or changed color yet? Both are very white and not dented at all.
Another thing is I was wondering is when they were laid all I had around was peat moss and they are still on it but I have gone out and bought vermiculite. Should I switch them over or just leave them on the peat?

I've used moist peat moss for hatching leo eggs without any problem.
Some eggs are candle pink right away, others take a week or maybe a bit longer. It varies with each egg, so don't worry yet. Keep them until they hatch, collapse completely flat, grow a thick layer of fur, or stink to high heaven or explode. I've had some hatch that were write-offs by all signs, but I kept them anyways.
I formally acknowledge that I am the Peat Moss Queen Use it in my incubation containers, as substrate in my laying area's and place a thin layer into the bottom of the cricket bins..... no more stinkum! Cheap and versatile..
I have a little problem...my leo layed her eggs in her normal cave not the humid hide. The eggs were nice and hard when I found them but there's a lot of dry cocobark stuck to them. Any tips on removing it? Also they have both dented but are still nice and white.

Don't worry about the bark at all, just leave it alone. In the wild, the gecko would bury her eggs several inches down into the earth. Those eggs need to go into the incubator with a moist substrate to rehydrate.
