Collapsed eggs + candling pics, help!
So I'm on day 56 right now and for the last few weeks the eggs started getting really collapsed. I feel like there's not much room for a snake to be developing in there. After candling the eggs, I can see snakes in there and patterns are evident. Is it okay for them to be like this?
I can see movement in most eggs so I'm pretty sure they're alive
Also after watching millions of egg videos and cutting videos on youtube, I noticed the shells are usually pretty pliable and thin while mine are kinda 'hard' and stiff. Humidity has been super high the whole time and temps are kept between 88 and 90.
Here's some pics:

- not the best picture, but you can see how flattened the egg is. (yay for the spider gene)

- here's all the eggs together
Any help is appreciated. I'm planning on waiting a few more days to see if they'll pip on their own.

I would go ahead and cut the collapsed eggs or half of them.

And like some people said they may seem hard. Mine did and that's one of the reasons I also cut them.
I remember seeing your thread on that. Mine look pretty similar. I'm going to go ahead and cut and I'll post update pics after! Thanks

Yes he or she never answered back about them. Hope they hatched.

This pic was day 40 I think but they collapsed on day 30. I didn't realize how bad it was when I lift it and took pics! I kinda see some patterns in there. I placed a damped towel over it today and see what happens. Can't do nothing about it but wait. Day 44 now
