If you find them laying in the cage, the chances of them hatching are very very low. Fertile has nothing to do with it.

Monitors are nesters, very much like birds. Without a nest they hold their eggs until they spoil(start to die) Then drop them hopelessly in the cage. Individual monitors may wait until all eggs are dead them drop them. Or some will drop them as soon as one egg dies inside them. Its possible to have an individual drop eggs that all hatch. You could also win the lottery.

Also some individuals hold the eggs until they die.

Of course give them a chance to hatch, incubate them. But don't expect much. Good luck and Cheers
