Can gecko eggs hatch without an incubator?

Exposure to dry air

When part of the egg is exposed to dry air, that part of the egg exposed to air can dry out too much and start collapsing in. The result is a dent or a crack-like effect on the egg. You can prevent overexposure of gecko eggs to harsh environments by covering the exposed eggs with sphagnum moss.
