If the eggs that my Russian Tortoise laid are infertile, will the eventually turn rotten in the incubator? How will I know if they need to "cook" longer or they are not viable?

They will eventually explode most likely, if they are not good.

My female RES laid eggs, and I kept the one egg she laid on land, and after a few weeks it just exploded.
@Yvonne G told me that infertile do has gas in them, and the pressure continues to build until the egg explodes. How long have you been incubating them?
