    So it looks as Deb said.

    The mold is at the top, and not the bottom where it sits in vermiculite. I believe it was condensation dripping from the plastic wrap.

    I removed the wrap on the 4 clutches and just put back the snap close lid, as the Saran wrap can sag if not careful!

    2 out of 27 is acceptable, I suppose.
    In my humble experience with snake eggs, it's too moist if condensation is dripping from the plastic wrap...although I also had several pin-holes in the plastic wrap.
    Did you do that (make pin holes in plastic) as well? or not? While I agree that you never want drips of water onto eggs (they can drown), it's by no means the only
    reason that eggs get moldy...some just aren't viable & they go bad, with or without water drips. When I had condensation like that, I opened it up for a bit (I lived
    in the desert then, it was easy to get rid of "humidity") and then recovered them after some time (maybe a day?)...that helped, & the eggs later hatched.

    All the best with your eggs...
