How long before you dug them up. Hard to tell by size comparison, but if most are yellow, could be slugs(infertile eggs).

If they were buried too long, and the substrate wasnt moist, looks like they could be dehydrated.

Just put the lid on to increase the humidity and put em in the incubator and see what happens.

In a few days candle them and see if there are blood vessells.

Yes it is normal for their first clutch to have a lower than normal fertility rate

ok, thanks geckoman, that makes me feel a bit better! it was about an hour or so after she laid that i dug them up. the soil is quite moist as it has been raining the last few days, even had a shower this morning, so i think it was plenty moist enough, the bad looking ones actually feel really soft, like a ballon half filled with water, sloppy almost.

cheers
