Are these eggs bad?

They were laid on May 23rd and incubated at 85f since then. One is indented slightly, the other seems to be taking a yellowish tinge(not sure if this is too much moisture or the egg is just turning yellow). When candled I don't really see any pink ring around the egg.

The medium is soil, I couldn't find anywhere that sold perilite here...
Also these were her first eggs.

The soil has soil, humus, peat moss, perlite and horticultural lime. There is also nowhere that sells vermiculite either. I will try however to find some perilite for the next eggs, there has to be SOMEWHERE here that sells it.
Edit: Canadian tire here supposedly has some in stock, I am going to pick some up.

The eggs are now on perlite, I will incubate them until there is no guessing. They were probably duds to begin with(first eggs), or I may have killed them. Only time will tell.

I just started researching the miracle gro stuff and found that it supposedly has fertilizers in it(The bag I bought doesn't say plant food added, nor does it have any added ingredients on the back, it does say "enriched" though..). I already opened the bag and cannot return it, I'm going to keep these eggs on it for now, I will be buying vermiculite (http://homehardware.ca/en/rec/index.../Ne-67n/Ntk-All_EN/R-I5053238?Ntt=vermiculite) for the next eggs though..
Shouldn't matter a whole lot, I am pretty sure these eggs are gone already.

Definitely duds...I noticed mold on one of the eggs today and it was very indented and a bit smelly. Being the curious at home scientist I am, I cut open the egg to find it filled with a thick opaque white goo that smelled. I noticed a very faint spot of red, incredibly faint(like the size of a pen point). I did manage to buy some all natural perlite and it seems as though my female might be getting ready for some more eggs.
