Hey guys, I have an egg incubation question for you all. I had an unexpected clutch lay last Wednesday when I was aawy from home; a friend of mine who watered the snakes for me while I was gone made me aware of them, but did not feel comfortable moving or touching the eggs. I wasn't expecting this girl to lay (she hasn't been with a male this season AT ALL).



I was wondering if you all had any specific advice to give me for these eggs that have been maternally incubated by mom for the past 7 days, considering I will be moving them to artificially incubate them for here on out. I think her temps should have been fine to keep the eggs stable (I hope they haven't fluctuated too much; like I said I haven't been there), but the environment is certainly much drier than my incubator egg box w/ vermiculite & egg crate. I know consistency is key with eggs, and wanted to know if I should worry about anything in particular?



I've always been right there when eggs were laid and never encountered ones that have been sitting for a while already before.



I appreciate any help, in advance! Thanks for your time!
