Has your dragon mated? If not, they aren't fertile and can be discarded. If your dragon has mated then they could be fertile so I would look into setting up an incubator for them as soon as possible. I'm not sure how long they will last on their own. I guess it depends on the environment they were laid in.
Hi there, they will not die as long as they are at room temp. in the 70's [ or even cooler ] for a short time. What do you have them in right now ? You can put them in a plastic shoe box with 3" of damp vermiculite and store them in the dragon's cage on the cool end. Drill or poke holes in the lid. When you put them in the vermiculite, use your finger to make an indentation for each egg that they can fit snugly in to.

I made a homemade incubator. And they are fertile because my beardie mated. The temp is steady at 86F is that too hot?

I have successfully incubated and hatched eggs in a plastic tupperware container. My beardie laid a clutch of 17 eggs and 15 hatched and all 15 survived. Get a plastic container with a lid and poke a few holes in the lid. Add the vermiculite and some water for humidity. Take your thumb and make indentations in the vermiculite as many as you have eggs) and put an egg in each one. Put the lid on and I just put it under a second heat lamp in my tank and put a thermometer over there to monitor temp.
