I would just candle the eggs. You'll know if they're not alive anymore because there wouldn't be red veins. There will be some movement in there too by this time, but sometimes they're just chilling, they don't move. So, as long as the red veins are present, I would just wait for the first pip. It should be very soon!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Use a small LED flashlight and put the flashlight flush against the shell. The inside of the egg should glow except for the part where the snake is - and this would be a dark mass.
