    Unhealthy Clutch?

    Hey guys,
    Just wondering what you think of this clutch

    My friend has very little experience in keeping a Ball Python, she bought this female about 6-8 weeks ago off of someone who told her that they tried to breed her, but they never witnessed a lock, and the female was not showing any signs of being gravid. Looks like she locked! lol

    My friend has been doing pretty much everything I have told her to do, she sends me pictures every once in a while as well as temp/humid readings to make sure everything is fine.

    Imo it doesn't look like its doing all that great.
    I haven't had the chance to shine a light on the eggs to see if there are veins, but I will be able to provide pictures of them tonight hopefully, If I can get over there.
    She is using a Reptibator, the Sensor for both the Humidity and Temperature are on top of the Reptibator which provides an inaccurate reading since the heating element is right up there with it.
    However the Humidity reading on the reptibator is at 65%, which I think is sufficient.
    Also, the Temp. reading for the reptibator is 90 Degree's, I added another thermostat with a prode and I put the probe right by the egg's and that only reads a steady 87.6
    I figure that should also be sufficient.

    Here is a picture before I removed the bad egg on top, the egg was bad when it was first discovered.

    Like I said, Hopefully I can provide some pictures of the eggs with a light to them.

    Also I should mention that the clutch is only about 2-3 weeks old
