Get a torch, put it up against the egg and turn it on.

It depend on the stage of development. That pic is after about 2 weeks, all you could see were the veins and a dark blob. As they get closer to hatching you can start to see the whole animal, even pattern, eyes and them wriggling around. But you always will see some veins if they are fertile.

I cant

I can see the veins on the ones that have been recently hatched, but I cant see anything on the ones due for hatching soon.
The ones that are due for hatching soon, have gone from a pinkie colour to grey.
They are in vermiculite 1:1 and in incubator from 28 degrees to 30 degrees.

This is when they hatched:

This is now

Any help would be appreciated.

The eggs are getting bigger, much bigger than they were. Bigger than the ones that are recently laid.
I dont want to toss them out if they might hatch

As long as they don't smell and dont have mould growing on them they still have a chance of hatching. I wouldn't throw them out just yet - wait until say a week after the hatch date has passed and then maybe chuck them. What are they?

Good luck
