Did I lose my eggs?

It's about day 63-65, a lot of my eggs lost a lot of their veins have kinda gone yellow when candled. They also aren't moving any more. Does this mean I lost them or they are close to hatching? Any help is appreciated, I'm worried.

I kept them at 78F for the first month then bumped it 81F and it's been 81-83F.

These are cornsnake eggs btw.

They may not be ready yet, due to the fact that you were incubating at 78* then 83*, why were you incubating so low?

Ahhh saw rest of post, I don't do colubrids, maybe someone with experience with them will chime in. sorry I can't be of more help.

Well I lost them. My fiancee was crushed about them.. Only one of them still has veins and a nice red glow when "candled" I wonder why it still has hatched being this many days in.


I took pics that ill post later..

Sorry to hear you lost the eggs. Lesseon learned and good luck net time. I am sure you will continue to produce.

They were so developed, its quite sad to see that they didn't make it.

My theory is they drowned, there was always massive amounts of condensation on the sides of the container and maybe the increase in heat made it condensate(?) more on the eggs..
