I think the eggs are fine.
I see you're using the fine grained vermiculite. I prefer the coarse grained because I find it holds the moisture level better...more evenly.
To test the vermiculite for moisture, you need to take a handful of what you've moistened when you're setting up the container and squeeze it. There should be no more than a drop or two of water coming out of it.
If you need to add water now that you're incubating the eggs, add it around the edge of the container not near or on the eggs.
When you check the container don't leave the lid off for very long.
Good luck with them!

I've never seen chameleon eggs before! Thank you for making this post!
Also they hardcore look like potatoes with a cat eye. I wonder why they all have that black stripe

@saradoggy10 the stripe is felt marker. People mark the top of the egg in case it gets accidentally turned.
