Unexpected Surprise
So I thought i just had 2 BPs but apparently i have a pair. These are just pets and i didnt have any thoughts of breeding them. I've never even seen them attempting to copulate. Well i checked on them after a weekend away and was surprised with a clutch of eggs. See pic here
So now what do i do? Mamma has been incubating them. I removed her to get a good look at the eggs and to see if she would eat. The eggs may be about 1 week old at this point. I've added a humidifier to try to increase the humidity. Not sure its enough though. Don't really know what they should feel like but i think they are too dry. I was going to try to let mamma handle the process since i don't have an incubator. Do the eggs even look right? I'm a bit concerned about the discolorations. Temps i got off them were 81-85 range. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Matt

Re: Unexpected Surprise
First, ball pythons should not be housed together, it stresses them out, and things like this can happen. Second the discoloration is either bad eggs, or they are getting wet, maybe from the humidifier. You need to have alot of knowledge and ability to care for those eggs if you want the mother to do it, it'll take a lot of work being able to keep the cage with the perfect humidity. Much easier to get an incubator and proportional thermostat. Can grab a basic chicken egg incubator add a place like fleet farm or something similar. Take a look at the maternal incubation thread on here and the incubator set up and see how you wanna do things.

You are not prepared in any way for these eggs.
Separate your snakes and either let the female try to maternally incubate them of throw them out.
The yellow one on top looks to be dead already.
