And here are the eggs!!
Do they look fertile?? I thought they looked fertile because I can deffinately see little pink verins inside them, but they are kind of strange colored compared to the last clutch I had... (these eggs are pink/white colored and the last clutch of fertile eggs that I had were all solid white...)
Do they look infertile?

Well, maybe. Don't confuse the pink bubble line with veins. Especially with the clearer eggs, you'll see that bubble even better.
That off color is most likely caused from insufficient calcium. When they are gravid, they need extra calcium to produce those good white shells. Don't worry, they can still develop & hatch with no problem. I would however start pumping your girl with some calcium. She may even be on the rebound & getting ready to produce some more.
Good luck

Thanks for the reply!
If I would've known that she was gravid I would have been loading her up with extra calcium, but I didn't know that she was gravid untill about a week ago when I started feeling eggs in her...
I'll start giving her some extra calcium just incase she desides to lay another clutch.
Are the pink 'bubbles' in the eggs a good thing or a bad thing? Is it an embryo, or just discoloration?
Thanks for your help!

It's just the process of the egg setting up.
Once that bubble is stable, development can begin. Once that happens, you can't change the orientation of the egg. What's up, must stay up.
Give them about a week, then try to candle them. Then you'll see the veins, if they are fertile. A pen Maglight works great!
Good luck.
