I am not much help here. I am on week 2 of my one egg. A good bright led light should candle the egg without a problem.

Crested Gecko egg HELP!
I tried to candle them tonight, still couldn't see much however I think I was mostly blinded by the light. Keeping my fingers crossed I wake up to babies!!
Good luck on your eggs! It's hard to wait so long!!

What temps are you incubating at? Humidity?
Pretty sure the egg thats deflated is either infertile or the embryo has died. Either way, leave them until it molds then remove the moldy one and the substrate affected by it.

Crested Gecko egg HELP!
They are being kept in the reptile room, which at its highest is 80 degrees. I am unsure of the exact humidity since there is no gauge. They are on vermiculite that sticks to my finger when pressed on and there isn't any liquid dripping. There are no holes in the tub, I open it daily.

Hmm, well, if you end up seeing mold, maybe wait another day and cut the egg just out of curiousity but dont mess with the egg unless you see mold.
Best of luck, hope you end up finding a hatchling in the incubator.

Crested Gecko egg HELP!
Sadly today the egg molded. I cut it apart hoping someone could tell me what could have happened. The other egg is still doing well. It looks like they were close to hatching which is sad.

Gotcha, dont let it get you down too much, this happens from time to time. Doubt it had anything to do with your incubation.
Although, after our first year of incubating on perlite (we had 4 eggs not make it) we switched to Superhatch and now we had a 100% hatch rate last year. The problem with all the other mediums in my opinion is that you can't visually inspect the moisture content, Superhatch works wonders for knowing visually when to add more water. So yeah, we lost alot of eggs and one like you did due to humidity but I'm not sure if this case is due to humidity or not.

Thank you so much for your input, I really do appreciate it. I will look into picking up some Superhatch, right now I am using Vermiculite without any additives.
She laid one egg this morning, although only one it looks healthy. I'm not sure what happened there, this is the third time she has laid for me. Both previous times they were two eggs.
