Sorry to hear that but don't give up just yet!! What is the humidity and temps at? As long as the eggs are not brown and smelling yet you are ok!!

Are you using the strip type thermometer? If so those things can be off as much as 20 degrees! If you can I would go to a garden center and get a thermometer with a hygrometer that has a probe on the end! Your temps and humidity sound way off! Good luck...

Yes quite possible. One mating a year is all a female needs. She can and will retain sperm for months before actually producing eggs in some cases.

What kind of incubator are you using?
if its a havobator you can add water to the plastic tray in the bottom or you can put a cup in the incubator with water in it. if the heat is right the humidity will rise with the added water. do you have your substrate your eggs are in hydrated? what do you have the eggs in substrate wise?
