She won't be able to incubate like that, the tub is in her way. She needs to be able to wrap the eggs completely or else they are just going to die.
I would say remove that tub and put the 2 separate eggs in an incubator. If she does not wrap all the eggs completely, remove them and put all in the incubator.

First of all, congrats on the eggs!

I suggest taking this first clutch and incubating in an incubator and if you are keen on trying maternal incubation, give it a go next year if she lays a more coherent clutch and wraps them nicely.
