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.

I kept 1.1 in a 2'x'1 plastic enclosure.  I just introduced another female this week.  The male and female are both about a year old.  The female is about 3 1/2 to 4 inches long.  The male is just a bit long.  The clutch I described was her first set.  The second set became moldy in weeks.  The are fed dusted crickets and waxworms (usually crickets).  I dust with Miner All.  Crickets are fed the Flukers Cricket food diet and apples for moisture.

As for incubation media, I have been using damp vermiculite in a dixie cup incubated at 82 degrees.  The egg laying chamber is a dixie cup with a hole in the side and damp vermiculite in there as well.  She has been laying the eggs in there and burying them.  The substrate I use is the Forest Blend stuff.  (I can't remember who makes it)

Is that enough information?

Thanks!
Sal
