Why would you need to put them in an incubator if they're already in one? 
If you mean they're already in the cage then I suppose they could hatch, I've heard of this happening before (People not knowing there are eggs then finding babies wandering around), but I'm pretty sure there would be less chance of hatching. However, I don't know if it's the same with Cresties, but should the adult Leo see the baby before you then they may well kill the baby...
Mind you, I'm not sure if you really need a proper incubator...All I used was an ice cream tub & perlite/vermiculite, keeping it moist and a thermometer to make sure the temperature isn't getting too low/high. I had 3 clutches of Crestie eggs last year and the first 2 hatched, the 3rd only failing because I went on holiday and the person I left them with didn't care for them properly. However, my success just could be the look of having a decent room temperature and where I've put them.

I would incubate seperately, especially if you want to temp sex.
I use a hovabator and have hatched out more babies than I can shake a stick at with it.
