Are these eggs good?

    Are these eggs good?
    So I had attempted to breed 3 of my ball pythons. Started pairing them in late October. Only paired once a month but saw visible locks each time. Was palpating and never felt any follicles or egg growth. Well around Jan-Feb time frame I decided to just give up on breeding them since my males completely stopped eating and I didn't want to cause them any issues.

    Well I looked in today after not checking on them for a few days and found 8 eggs under my GHI! We have the stuff for the incubator but never put it together because I didn't think we were going to need it. We will be getting it put together asap, but I'm just hoping I'm not too late? I sprayed her tub and put the water dish on the heat tape to help boost the humidity. I'll have to check humidity levels when I get home but temps were sitting at about 91 degrees.

    Here's a pic of what the eggs looked like just a few minutes ago. I'm going to try incubating them reguardless but I'd like to know if I should get my hopes up or just expect the worst :(

    Not yet, I was just doing a quick check before I had to come into work. I didn't want to mess with them too much until we were ready to take them out.

    Look good to me
    They all look good to me. Let mom handle them until you are ready to remove or just leave them with her. Has she been eating? That should have been a clue if she wasn't. None of my gravid females are eating right now.

    None of my bred females have been, but neither have my breeding males. I just felt the other 2 and I don't feel any eggs at all. It's been a few months since I paired them last, wouldn't I be able to feel something by now?
