Hey...Is there any way to tell if the tortoise eggs are fertile or not? Besides waiting 65+ days? :tort:

Candling. Use a white LED penlight.

Yep. Most of the time changes can be seen within around 10 days. Unless its a species with a diapause...

Don't be frustrated or give up if you don't see what you are looking for. Some of us, me included, are not so good at candling. I often don't see the signs in good eggs, so I just incubate them all anyway.
