I've had this happen when the substrate/incubation media is too damp. Looks to me like that is what happened there.

Aw, that's a shame, Ardi. I agree with what Tom told you - too much humidity inside the incubator, and medium too wet.

Happens with Star tortoise eggs too. If the substrate is too wet they take on too much water and burst.

Is there any hope of saving them,or are they too cracked to do anything to.

Copy that, I replace the substrate with new one, lowering humidity and continue monitor, hope they will survive.
For the open egg, any suggestion ?
Thank you

If you still have the egg pieces, gently place them on the broken eggs. Then cover the whole egg with cling wrap.
Best of luck!
