I
would simply call this infertile eggs. If there are no partially developed
geckos inside, then the incubation really wasn't a factor. How old is the
mother? How are your gut-loading/supplementation practices?
There are many factors that cause infertile eggs, the most common being young
females and under-nourished animals.
Tell
us about your setup and husbandry practices, perhaps we can try to be more
specific.

-----Original Message-----I just cracked open 2 ocelot gecko (P. picta) eggs that were 70 days old. One of the eggs looked like it had been hard boiled inside and smelled. The white stuff in the egg had a consistency of jelly. In fact, after the shell broke, the insides maintained the round shape. The other egg had nothing but what looked like a red bean inside. Both eggs were from the same clutch and incubated in the same container. (I don't have pictures yet because I'm still using the old fashioned cameras where you have to get the film developed.) Any idea what could have caused this? I got 2 new eggs today and another gecko that is gravid.
