I recently had two females lay eggs for the first time. The second females eggs look great, but the first females eggs not so good. They have not dried up, but ar not smooth. They almost look like fiberglass. They are kinda off white and not that bright white like the other females eggs. I have pics of the eggs i think are bad. Please excuse some of the moss left from the egg box. Do mistake it for bad spots on the egg, as far as i can see the egg has not developed any bad spots it still looks the same since the day she laid them. There is also a mark i made with a black pen.
Also please excuse the ball python at the bottom i can not get it to go away.

It is a bit difficult to tell but I would guess that this egg is not good. HOWEVER, do not throw it away as you never know. I've had eggs look worse and they hatched out.
Of course, if it starts to develop mold, you should then toss it.
