When Should I Candle Eggs & Could There Be Twins?

I just wanted to know when would be a good time to candle eggs to see if they are fertile.. One of my het albino females layed a clutch of 3 HUGE eggs!

Also, do you think these eggs could have twins in them? They look bigger thand most eggs i've seen, and a lot of other ppl have said the same thing.. Give me your opinion.. Here are pics...

Here are the eggs:

You can candle your eggs soon as they are laid

Large eggs are not synonym of twins, keep in mind that twins are not something common when hatching BP, it does happen but a big egg can mean a big hatchling.

Some females lay small/average size eggs some lay huge ones.

This year my first clutch had 4 average size eggs and one huge one ironically I did hatch twins but they were in one of the average size egg, the big egg just had a big hatchling in it.

Thanks for the info! I cant wait to see what comes out of these eggs! But even if none are albino, it will still be cool just to see little baby snakes!
