I hate those flies, I'm glad I saw Kim W's post cause that will probably be most helpful. In my experience the flies only last when it's humid in the cages, I could be completely wrong here, but I also make an effort to remove feces constantly because I'm sure that attracts the flies. As well as giving the snakes limited access to water bowls and if they spill any water I clean it up.

Those flies are the devil's spawn. I've never had them affect any eggs, at least not good eggs, but I don't think I ever paid much attention to them until last year.
