Temp is 30 and humidity 90

Sorry to see this! If that is hatchrite i think that may be the culprit. Also it looks like condensation droplets on your eggs!!!

You can apply Neosporin (or generic equivalent) that doesn't contain "pain relief" at the intersection of the good egg and bad. It isn't a perfect solution but can work to protect an egg, even ones with damage to the eggshell.

I don't have any experience really but they look really wet to me. Maybe they are suffocating because of the amount of water on the shell?

Condensation is the culprit for sure. Ir the eggs are sitting in incubation medium too damp and "sweating out" the excess as well. Dry off the lid of the container and assess if the medium is soggy. Lots of issues can result.

If the eggs are healthy and being incubated properly, bad eggs will not harm good eggs and some pretty nasty looking eggs can still hatch.

Hope you fix whatever is causing this soon.

thanks for everyone's help, i have dried off all the condensation and hopefully this will sort it
cheers

well we managed to save three eggs,im sure it was the condensation, these seem fine tho,thought id post some pics

Glad a few made it full term. Stinks you lost several, but now you've got some better experience for the next breeding.

It's actually the product of condensation which is moisture and water droplets. As long as the droplets form on the sides of the tub and drip down away from the eggs and into the incubation medium you are ok. If the droplets are forming on the lid of the tub and falling onto the eggs that needs to be corrected right away. Sometimes it means switching to a different , larger tub. Good luck!
