It should be very soon!
its so hard to tell , i tried to use a flashlite. but i couldnt see through the eggs . they seem very thick

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.
