Moldy crested gecko eggs?

I have two crested gecko eggs that have like some moldy crust on them. It's white and I've already removed it a few times already in the past few weeks. I keep seeing the same stuff grow back and I'm starting to see some small whitish, translucent worms on the eggs. The substrate in the deli cup I have them in seems to have the right humidity. It's not too damp or too dry. I also open the container a few times a week for ventilation. I'm not sure about what I'm doing wrong and I need help.

    This is going to sound silly, but are you sure that the eggs are fertile? Most reptiles that lay eggs can lay infertile eggs as part of their reproductive cycle (it's like women's periods), which quickly go bad and start rotting / growing weird stuff.
