Why are they housed together? if you keep them together he will breed the life right out of them, I keep males separate from females. the only time they are together is to breed then they are separated.

I believe the reason for the eggs never hatching is that you said that you have them under a heat lamp. They are probably drying out and dying. If you want the eggs to hatch you should probably look into getting an incubator. You can get one for around $50.00 from any of the reptile supply companies online or at your local Country Max.
Good Luck.

You can purchase an incubator from LLL Reptile Supply, Reptilesupply.com, reptiledirect.com, or Big Apple Pet Supply as well as Country Max (or any feed and grain store).
