Did you cool the adults last year?
Were the eggs yellow and soft when they were laid or white and they go off?

have you hatched any other reptile eggs before?
If the eggs are white but fail later into incubation it may be a problem there, perhaps too wet?
You may have a 'dud' male, it does happen. Try again this coming season, turn heat off at night and back on during the day (2 months) carry on feeding, dusting food in vit supplements (nutrabol is good).
good luck.
