If the females are first time breeders, the eggs may just be infertile because they haven't gotten it "right" yet. If it's the same male and you never get a fertile egg, maybe the male is infertile. You can candle the eggs when they're first laid to see if there's a pink "bullseye" in the egg which means it's fertile. If that's the case and they're not developing, then you have to check your incubation. There are a lot of ways to incubate. I use the SIM (eggs suspended over substrate) with perlite, but there are other ways to do it.
