You said..."She laid a total of 27 eggs"...good number...not too many and not too few.
You said..."When I was digging them up, many were vertically placed in the sand. When they are fertile next time, do i need to be wary of how they were laid and try to match their orientation when i transfer them to incubate?"...not if you dig them up soon after she lays them. Let her finish burying them and return to the branches first though.
You said..."Very excited for the real thing, going to try next month, and I am glad this happened as it gave me unmatched expirience so i know what to do when she's carrying fertile ones"....a "trial run" is almost as worrisome as the real thing!
I incubate mine at about 78F and have had close to 100% hatch rate...and a very good survival rate too.
I show the female and male to each other by holding the female outside the male's cage. If he doesn't show aggressive behavior and she shows receptive behavior/coloration, then I place her into the male's cage and watch them for a while just to make sure that they don't turn on each other.
Good luck with it!
