Maybe wait until you see the veins. They are harder to overlook.

Shine the light from the other sides Jackie and see if you can see any red.

Your probably not doing anything wrong, it will happen when you least expect it:0) It took three years of my torts egg laying, before I had fertile eggs.

Oh Jackie, you're not doing anything wrong. Fingers crossed the one she dropped on the substrate will be fertile. Usually the ones dropped are just discarded infertile ones but I've read at least a couple of times on here that people have had them turn out to be fertile, so don't lose hope yet. x

Jackie I waited 40 years to get one baby from my Hermans , so don't lose hope. Not saying that you will wait 40 years

Jackie there is no way you can make an egg fertile or infertile, that's up to the male Just keep going with these also. I have had Med eggs take 3 weeks to start to develop.
