What should I do?

Hi, I've wrote in a different post about a problem I've got. I have 2 Russian tortoise eggs at 30 C or 86 F.
Today is day 58 and one of the eggs has started leaking a bit of yellow stuff. The egg looked yellow throughout incubation when candling but the other egg looked red and I candled it earlier and it had what looked a large white circle inside.
I've moved the bad egg into another tub but the tub with the good egg still smells a bit, so should I leave it as it is or should I transfer the good egg to a different tub incase of bacteria remaining.
This is my first time with Russian eggs so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

At day 58, it is likely to hatch soon if it is viable. I doubt it will matter whether you move the egg at this point. I also doubt it would have an significant risk because of the other egg.
Best of luck! Hopefully the egg hatches soon!

Cheers, I'll be sure to post some pics if it does.
For a hatchling set up will this be correct:
2ft viv
Paper towel substrate
Heat lamp
Uv bulb
Thanks
