In my experience Black Rat Snake egg shells are thicker than those of corn snakes. They are aso larger on average than corn snake eggs. It sounds like the eggs are hatching, so I'd just leave them be. High temperatures cause eggs to hatch early, but it's also linked to causing deformities. Black rat snakes tend to lay their eggs under rocks or in logs and presumably the temperatures in these spots doesn't reach the 90s (although I don't know of any long term studies to show what actual wild incubation temperatures are like). For me, black rat snake eggs took 60 days to hatch, just like corn snake eggs incubated under the same conditions.
