    I can tell you that they do not look to be fertile. 3 are definately not. I'd candle that big one in the middle just to be positive but I'm sorry they don't look good. Still surprise eggs bad or good are always happy times.

    That was my thought but always helps to get more opinions.

    Agreed. The other three look like slugs. The big one looks pretty rough, but might be fertile.

    Got an incubator up and running?

    Yup,

    I'd candle the big one and discard the slugs.

    Yeah already had it up for corn snake eggs. I went ahead and set the thermostat up to 88 put them in them in. I guess I will pull the corn eggs though and just try the shelf method since I keep the room 82.

    What temperate are the corn eggs being incubated at? The temp swing will most likely be a shock if you pulled them, I'd think. I've successfully incubated corn eggs and ball eggs in the same incubator, but personally I wouldn't risk a corn clutch for one egg that is MAYBE fertile. Temp swings aren't good for eggs, as far as I know. Spikes can cause kinking, which I've seen for myself. Not sure about drops.

    When I did corn/ball eggs in the same bator, I anticipated that this was going to be happening. I set the T-stat to 86.5. The extra 1.5 degrees either way didn't do any harm to the snakes in the eggs. The corn eggs hatched on day 57 instead of the usual 60, and the ball eggs hatched on day 58 or something. So while I've done it before, I won't do it again, as I now have 2 separate incubators.

    Either way, I hope that one eggie is fertile for you!

    The incubator was set at 82, getting a few degrees flux. So not sure if it is better to try with a higher incubation temp or not for the corn eggs as they are fairly tolerant.
