Veiled Chameleon Culling the eggs :(

Well today I am culling my eggs. I wish I would have at the beginning but I did not expect such survival rate. Plus I was unknowingly overfeeding and ended up with 59 eggs.
I have them in 3 containers. I have about half kept at 70 and half at 80 hoping it will spread out the babies. My plan is to sell the "them" at the upcoming reptile shows. I say them because
I plan to sell setups, the chameleon would come with.
My point for now is I am only prepared for 30. I have tried to see if I could handle them all but there is no way. I only expect to sell maybe 30 a YEAR at best.
They were laid Dec 23. I hope this is not too late.

Oh and how should I do it. New I would just toss them, but I feel like there are chams in there by now.

So separated out some of the eggs. Out of curiosity I tried to open one. Now I wonder if these eggs are fertile ? I know the parents paired multiple times within the 4 hours he was in her enclosure.
Does any one else have experience with this ? I will attach a pic. After 2 months I would expect embryo.
