Corn Egg question

Ok, so today I went to the local pet store to pick up my new corn, a full grown bloodred (sex unk) and they had two other adult corns a "breeding pair" normal and a snow. Well I noticed yesterday when I went in that the female normal was way underweight and then when I was talkin to the girl there today she said that it just had eggs! I don't know how that poor snake could have been hiding them, she was so so skinny. But anyways there were about 10 eggs and a bunch of slugs so I took my trusty LED flashlight and candled the ones that "looked" all right. I saw a few veins in 5 of them which I'm assuming means they are good but some of them still had some hard yellow spots on them, would that mean that they are slugs too?
Well, I offered to take them and incubate them for them and give back all but one or two of the choice babies that I would keep for myself, I'm waiting to see if they call me. If not I'm gonna stop by in a few days and candle them again to see if they are good or not.

Oh ALSO I just picked up this guy/gal from the same pet store (they were there on commission because the woman who owned them got injured and couldn't keep them anymore unfortunately) and she may be gravid!

I noticed some lumps on her body towards the tail and I don't believe that it is poop as she had a nice big poop yesterday and has not eaten yet this week. I felt them last night and there were definite distinct (6-8) lumps there. So I might be getting a crash course in incubating corn eggs but I have a friend with a good incubator.
You can kind of see here how her skin is showing through some, some people said that is a sign she may be gravid

Make sure you get her a lay box ASAP- a tupperware with a hole cut in the top so she can get in, with damp moss. If you search here, you will see what they look like.

OK I will look that up. She is a very big girl (994g and 4.5 feet long), I have her in a 40Qt sterilite right now what size tupperware should I use as a lay box? It would have to fit in that tub as it is the only QT tub I have right now. Does anyone have any links to a good lay box I could use?
 
Would she fit in one of those bigger square Gladware boxes? They are in the aisle with the Ziplock bags. Look at those and see if you think she could fit in one of those. (Probably, my 350g kingsnake fits in the smaller rectangular one which is the size I use for feeding bins for babies...)

MMMM, very very doubtful. I'll go to Wally world tonight and see what they have that might fit in her tub. I've already got some spahgnum that I can use so I'll see what I can get.
Thanks!
