Default leo holding back second egg

she is very good usually, and lays the two together in her wet box then lets me get them when shes bored. However, this time she laid one crappy one, and has kept the other in - only 2 days, but still odd. Anyone elses do this?

Two weeks ago my leopard gecko Priscilla laid a flat squishy egg. This was her 5th clutch and it was a week after her fourth that she laid this egg. She still had an egg in there and one week later she laid the other egg, this egg looked perfect and I've incubated it.

I thought that the squishy egg was just a dud as she'd already had four clutches. I'd give you're gecko at least a week to see if she lays, if not a trip to the vet my be in order. Good luck
