Hello my Sulcata died a few days ago because retained eggs, I just opened her and found that she haves 19 eggs inside ...
I placed them in a eggs container, but I dont have an incubator right now, what should I do? should I bury them? Should I buy a incubator and keep them in the egg container until I receive it?
Thanks.

They can sit at room temp for a few days or weeks with no problem. Get an incubator, and take your time getting the temperature set correctly and stabilized. No rush. I frequently leave them in the ground in winter for a month or more, and usually get 90-100% hatch rates.
