Hi Isabell, There's the Tortoise Trust list too, with losts of knowledgable people. I have some experience with turtle eggs, though not that species. Usually they start out translucent. Then if they are good, after a few days they form a whiter band around the middle of the eggg. Then the whole egg becomes opaque like the band. If you candle them early you would see yellow -- the yolk -- and then later you should see blood vessels forming. So yours sounds good!
