Hi Isabelle!
I don't recall ever seeing any water droplets inside the eggs. The grey mass
is visible the last couple of weeks prior to hatching, though. Maybe what
you saw is the egg yolk slowing disappearing as the "soon-to-be" hatchling
absorbs it and gets closer to hatching.

Congratulations on your little Spider Gecko hatchling!! I bet that you were
thrilled to find the surprise baby that you have been waiting for!
<<Very nice! Although there is one problem. I think his legs are nog quit in
order. Maybe it takes a while before they unfold? (hope, hope) His hindlegs
look good to me now but his front legs still are curved in the joints. He is
not standing on those frontlegs yet. But he can ran quickly if you touch him
and he can even do the alien screem :-) (but not very loud)>>
I don't know what to tell you about the front legs. I just recently had a
hatchling that emerged with a curled tail instead of the long straight one.
After about one month, it has somewhat "relaxed", but it is remains curled.
(I will try to get a picture of it to send to you.) Hopefully, your little
guy's legs will straighten out.
<< I"m waiting next to the incubator for its sibbling!>>
Let us know when its sibling decides to pop out. Don't worry, sometimes
clutchmates will hatch out the same day and sometimes a day or two later.
The longest I had to wait for the second one to hatch was 2 weeks.
Congrats, again, Isabelle!!
