Ok so I started cutting and as thought found bad eggs and dead snakes. I set the egg container to the side with the cut eggs still in it to deal with later. One of the eggs had 2 snakes in it. I just went back and took a 2nd look and one egg for sure is alive. If I spread the cut opend you can clearly see something twitching around whenever the egg is touched. You said they can live for a while after the egg is cut. How long are we talking here? the egg has a lot of fluid and whitish stuff in it, I can NOT see a snake but clearly see something in there moving so I can not tell how developed this one is. If its like the egg with 2 snakes in it they were hardly developed at all, They didn't even have pigment yet. Thanks a million for the help. I would like to do what ever possible to at least save this one if its even possible.

i've heard of people havng cut eggs and living for a month or so.... just keep the funky filmy milky colored liquid off the top with a paper towel.. But if the liquid stinks or turns an orange or pinky red the snake is dead. Being since they are at 100 days and these are your friends eggs, what temps did he have them at... and buy a new thermometer to find out the "real" temp inside the egg chamber

The eggs were my eggs, I gave them to the pet store along with my incubator and support equipment, They freaked out when they got all moldy so I picked up the incubator. I was tossing the eggs out and getting it ready for my new eggs when I found these 7 that I thought could be saved. I set up the incubator in the beginning and according to them they did not mess with the temps at all or anything. All they did was check on them like I suggested. They have been at about 82F for the past hundred days. The living snake in the egg looks small still and has absolutely no pigment "All white" I can clearly see scales now as the fluid has cleared up since cutting it opened. I can also clearly see the head.
