Its all about timing, eggs deposited close to the pre-egg laying shed, do not develop as quickly and will take a little longer to see what you mentioned.
Now the big question, you did not wait to see if they rotted?
You can add a new rule, females do not deposit calicum on ovum that was not fertilized. Of course even fertilized eggs can die before any development takes place.
Also delayed development is common with reptiles, and while rare with colubrids, its does occur.
Also, all i have is that picture and from that picture, I would have incubated them until they went rotten.
I could tell you all kinds of stories of delayed development, but I won't. After all, there your eggs and its your decision. And only your loss if they would have hatched. Best wishes
