Snake just laud eggs need help

We breed our ball python and tried several times to feel for her eggs but never felt anything. Today she laid 7 eggs with one slug. We didn't think it was pregnant and we have been caught off guard. How soon do the eggs need to go in an incubator? I'm hoping to order something and have it in a couple of days to transfer them into. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

No guarantees but some people do self incubation...

They could be okay as-is until you get an incubator, just watch temps and humidity. Make sure you're very careful when you transfer them to the incubator and don't try to pull them apart if they're stuck together. Also try to keep them from getting turned.

If your ambient temp is at least in the low 80's and the humidity is good you have time. If you are not in a hurry to breed again you may just want to leave things as they are and let her incubate the eggs. If there is a lot of money invested in the clutch though you are going to want to get the eggs into a stable environment as soon as you can.

Thanks for the advice, I have built an incubator and have moved the eggs and so far I think everything is OK. Most of the eggs I saw online were nice and oval like a chicken egg however mine have dents some quite large dents. Is this a bad sign or OK?

Post a pic. A little denting is fine.

Whats your humidity in the incubator?
