Help asap!!!!!

my neighbors leopard geckos laid two eggs today in their egg box. When he brought the box over, the eggs rolled... so we have no idea what side of the egg was originally facing up. I candled them and they both have veins... on one egg the veins are on the top of the egg... the other egg the veins are on the bottom. How do I know which way is up? should I move them now, or just leave them alone and tell him to be more careful next time?

well if im not mistaken the veins should be mostly on top so the egg that has them on the bottom you might want to get them turned right side up .
if im mistaken then sorry but from my dealings with eggs thats what i have found to be the way .

The embryo should be face up. It will look like a little "Cheerio" with a tiny black dot in the middle. Most of the veining will also be at the top, the lower portion might be yellow and only have a few visible veins.

You should also have a few hours before the embryo attaches itself.

I remember a post about rolled Ball Pythons eggs, let me see if I can't find it.
