About Leopard Geckos (sorry don't know where else to ask)

Well, much to my surprise yesterday morning I found two eggs in my leopard gecko's tank. Sadly, I doubt these two will make it, they might have been out on plain gravel for hours, also one was stuck to the tank. So I carefully wet it until it just came off. I kept them up the way I found them... very carefully used moist soil since it was all I had at the moment... and started -attempting- to incubate them at 80 degrees. Well I checked on them tonight. They seem to have well... it appears as if they've deflated a bit... if you understand that at all. These would be my first Leo Eggs ever to appear, I've had them all for quite a while and the females are rather small and since nothing seemed to be 'happening' I wasn't prepared. I should have known better. Can anyone give me any tips on this? I have a female now... that on closer inspection seems gravid as well... And I'd like to give her's a chance should I be correct.

I'm sorry and I realize this isn't the place to post this. But most of you seem knowledgable with herps in general. And I suppose I'd trust your instruction over all. Help me?

Glad to hear about your little clutch! Each female will produce 3-8 clutches of 1-2 eggs through out the season (and may I say, they're starting pretty darn early for the new season! they usually start in January). How is your setup (enclosure)? What is the humidity you have the eggs at? Do you have a male in with the girls; sometimes leos will produce "duds." Make sure to give the girls extra calcium and food because her resources will be very depleted from laying (waxworms would be a good thing to feed them at this time). After he answer my questions, I will be able to go more in depth to help you out!

Hm. I do have a male in a group of 3 females, soon to be 4 (apparently i'm Leopard Gecko rescue girl). As a matter of fact just watching him a moment ago, bite and attempt to mate with one made me figure... This may not stop lol. For the 4 I have a 20 Gallon Long tank. This 'Desert Blend Lizard Litter', decent sized water bowl in the middle. A hide box at either side of the tank. For the most part I give them Crickets, Super Worms, Mealworms but i'm sure I can find waxworms, though when I was looking for them earlier at the petshop I wasn't finding any. As for the two so far? They really don't look so great. Like I said I wasn't prepared for them. I don't have any proper incubation equipment... And I couldn't tell you the exact humidity. I have the eggs on top of moist soil and a wet paper towel, covered with a moist paper towel and sitting on a heating pad which is keeping it at exactly 80 degrees. As I mentioned before I doubt these are going to make it, they dont -look- very good though... not -bad- either. (Then again I don't know what a good LG egg looks like...).
So far I'm just... kinda doing what I can, i'm going to pick up proper supplies, Vermiculite etc. is there anything important i need to know, or do?
