Around 25 days ago, I caught my solenopsis xyloni queen. But, there's no larvae or pupae and only a large pile of eggs(she could be eating them). Also the queen hasn't shed her wings.

Seems infertile to me.

yeah, that's rightSeems infertile to me.
She may not be, just give her some time.
Ex igne et in infernum.
If the temperature is too low, the brood development time would be prolonged, and the queen may exhaust her energy reserves while attempting to care for them. Very high humidity and a source of clean drinking water are also generally required for brood development.
