Jason,
I hate to be the one to say it but those eggs are bad. They have sunken in because the inside of the egg has solidified. If the eggs are really 100 days old then the two that still look good, have probably died in egg as well. I have had quite a few this year that went over the hatch time. The rest of the clutch hatched. I cut them open to find a partially to fully formed snake, dead. When you make a small cut in the egg, you should get a clear fluid to come out, if the egg is good. Sometimes, you may cut a small blood vessel, and you may get a tiny drop of fresh blood. On eggs that are bad, you will get a red tinged fluid and a kinda "dead" smell.
Take one of those sunken in eggs between your thumb and finger. Give it just a little squeeze. If it is springy and solid, I guarantee it is bad. If it is soft and pliable, it may still be good.
I am betting it is bad. Sorry ----- ****Misty****
