If they're carrion flys (which look like fruit flies), you'll need to wash the eggs and move them into a new container with new substrate. Your best bet is to use an air tight container to avoid the flies moving to the new incubation area. Use luke warm water and a soft brush to wash the eggs - this will remove the bug eggs from the snake eggs. Do not use too much water when washing, otherwise you'll drown the eggs. Once moved, open the air tight container for a few minutes once every few days to allow the eggs some air circulation.
