 Ivy layed her eggs!!

OK so now that that’s over, I have more questions!!

She layed her eggs on top of the lay box, instead of in it, of course. So I CAREFULLY moved the eggs from the top into the box without turning them over. I have taken out the box and put it into its own tank, and I have a light shining on in to keep in around 83 degrees.
Now I am just wondering what the eggs should look like if they are fertile and healthy?!
What SHOULD be happening over the next few days/weeks?
THANK YOU!

A light shining in? No incubator? You’re going to suck the humidity right out of there. They need a proper incubator.

What should be happening over the next few days: They should start to increase in size just a tiny bit and then stop, looking like this (This person incubates differently, hence the wire):


What should be happening over the next few weeks/months: Absolutely nothing. The most stressful part of this all (To the owner, not the mother) is the wait and worry. Take out any eggs that appear fuzzy or molded.
