Okay, hello everyone, I'm new here, and I actually need help for a lot of stuff.
It's a kinda long story.
In 2012 bought a 80cm male albinos corn snake with the following stuff :
- 90x45x45cm enclosure
- heat lamp + heat mat
- 2 hides
- water bowl
- Snake Bedding substrate
Temperatures : hot spot - 28°C day and 24°C night
cold spot - 24°C day and 22°C night
After one year, in 2013, he started acting weirdly at spring (being super active and not eating) and had scratches on his neck so I got him to the vet. That vet confirmed it was a male, so it was a normal behavior because he was looking for a mate and surely scratched himself like that. He started eating again few days after that, and everything was fine.
For the next years, everything went okay, he never got sick, nor had a weird behavior, he never met another snake neither and nothing changed until few month ago.
I must say I moved to Paris with my snake for my studies and I'm wondering if the stress or different environment is a cause...
Since 25/03, he refused eating again and was still super active, so I guessed "well okay it's spring". But also he started making noise while breathing and he sneezed a lot. So I started being really vigilent about it, and checked him everyday before calling the vet. He shed on 22/04 and was again very active :

Few days after that, he started having some strange behavior I never observed before : he was always expanded, lifted his head and spent much time in water. Which, as far as I know, are stuff they do when something hurt them.
So I called the vet monday and i have an appointment for tomorrow (02/05)
But a lot of things happened between monday and now, otherwize I wouldn't be here.
Few hours after I called the vet, I discovered in his terrarium something i never ever saw before :

I couldn't believe it but it was a fu@ç8ég egg, right...
And there were two of this

Well, I assumed it was probably a female and thought his behavior was normal for a female who wants to lay eggs.
So in middle of night I built a laying box with a shoes box, tape and moss i have for millipedes, i put the snake inside and he stayed.
And the next day I got this :

So, well okay in fact my snake was a female all along or what. Also, is this normal for her to lay eggs only now, after 7 years, and not before ?
After she apparently finished to lay all of this, I wanted to take out the eggs, and got curious to candle them...
and... wtf :

So.
In the middle of night (again), I started building an incubator, with stuff I had again (a drawer, the heat mat of terrarium, and boxes for food)

the temperature is now stabilized at 28°C and i dunno for humidity.
I looked at them today

I learned that slugs can have embryos or veins inside but they won't develop. Actually a lot of the eggs look yellow but almost 10 of them had veins/red points inside so i don't know what to think/what to do.
So, you people, do you think all of these are dead or should i keep trying incubating ?
Thanks for reading all of this...
