Hey Marie,
Congrats on the eggs you know your part of the way there already. First off DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP! They were infertile to begin with. I always candle them with a small flashlight before I pick them up I run @ 30% infertile eggs on average. I even have 4 males in my group so its the luck of the draw on that issue. WHen I've found eggs in the past I tried to mark the eggs before I picked them up just touching them with a marker I crushed the shell. Its enough to make you nuts. I've found fertile eggs that they kicked up while digging in the sand If you get to the eggs within a few hours of being laid the embryo won't be situated in the egg so you won't drown it. Just relax you'll get more eggs and when you shine a light on them you'll see a pinkish glow to them and those will be good. Just be ready and things will work out. Good luck!
