    Honestly, I'd buy three.. one for each of your ball python enclosures and one for the incubator.

    They should plump back up with the increased humidity in your egg tub, but might never plump back out fully. I've used lightly dampened sphagnum moss draped over eggs to plump them out when I've had early dimpling in the past.

    That is good. You can use a small meg light flash light to see if there are veins in them.

    Now that you have all that going good. Do you know what you are going to do with the babies?

    I've not experienced mold as a result of using moss in lay boxes or humid hides, but if you're not comfortable using it that's fine too.

    I have never had that problem. Are you using a closed tub for the eggs in the incubator? You should be ok with that. Sometimes the eggs don't plump up, it is ok as long as they don't dimple more. Pinch the vermiculite every couple days when you check them and add a little water in the corners if you think it is drying out.

    thanks for all your help , they are in a sealed tupperware container i have vermiculite all around the eggs , almost covering them , the container might be alittle small as in height its close the lid might be pressing down on the top egg
