    not saying that im gonna let her do it but i want the incubator perfect so i might have to wait.

    Just from the pics you've posted, I think you'd need to tweak her set up a bit before I would consider maternal incubation. It looks like you have a basking lamp over her and lamps have a tendency to zap moisture out of the air. The stuck shed and shed fragments in the first pic make me think that humidity is too low for her. The humidity would need to be between 60 and 80% (IMO) in order to promote ideal conditions for the snake - no retained skin and shed skin is intact. Until those conditions are met, I wouldn't consider maternal incubation as a viable option for you.

    the third egg is a slug i can tell by how it looks.
    and it looks like she still has one or two eggs in her.

    And yeah they do look a bit small. :(
