Could be a number of things. As zefdin suggests they may have been infertile but that is unlikely as slugs are usually obvious. If they rolled or you did not keep them the same way up as you found them that could definitely do it. Hovabators do not do a great job for Ball python eggs - they have trouble maintaining temps above about 85 with much consistency. Over wet media (vermiculie/perlite) could cause it. Temperature conditions for the female in the days prior to egg laying is yet another area to consider. Lastly, did you breed the snakes or was it a wild caught, gravid female - if so you have no way of knowing what conditions she may have been exposed to. Sorry for your losses but keep trying.
