You need a better description of the eggs....a picture would be better in your case. Good luck with them tho....

well, they are not snake eggs they seem to be house geckos

Personally, I don't get why you would take a wild clutch of eggs, and remove them from the wild. Especially if you cannot identify them.
You'll grab the wrong eggs one day, and find out the hard way how tough the law can be when it comes to messing with an endangered species.

Totally irresponsible, and lacking in propriety for what most of us are trying to achieve.

Maybe I came off a little harsh. Try to see it like this. You do not know what they are, so how could you possibly know the right care for them during the incubation process? What temps? what humidity? Some reptile eggs do not get turned over by their mother. Did you put them "exactly" in the possition you found them in? With the correct side up?
In your mind, you are curious, and wanting to know, but inadvertantly, you may just kill them off because of not knowing the right thing to do. Too often human interference with wildlife goes awry, even with the best of intentions as a motivator. This in the long run upsets the balance of things. You are in Florida, where the balance is pretty screwed up as it is. And again, because of us humans.
I have kept wild caught species of reptiles before. This I admit. But all the specimens I have kept were for learning purposes, and ALL were returned to the area they were found later on. I have never disturbed an egg in the wild. I will mark the area, and return frequently to observe, and hopefully catch the hatching. This would be My suggestion to you on this subject.
Not only will this give them a "natural" chance of success, it will prevent you from "possibly" getting a hold of something that will have legal ramifications. These legal issues will not only affect You immediately, they will affect other herpers in the long run. From what I have read, and heard, Florida is bad enough already when it comes to the game officials.
Don't mean to harp on you, but I am a rehaber, and things like this are very serious to me.

Ciao,
Rick

first of all i know how to take care of house geckos and second,there from back yard!

That is you correct?
I have to stand by what I said. Irresponsible and lacking in propriety. At least make sure you know what you are messing with BEFORE messing with it. It's a good plan all around.
