do these eggs look ok?

[B3NUK]

I was lucky enough to see her laying
and took some pics of the eggs being layed and
the eggs today, please tell me if anything appears to be wrong

( the eggs are in a vented container with slightly moist vermiculite
around them, i have placed the container in the actual tank with the snakes )

since yesterday the eggs do look slightly dented, is this normal?
or are they drying out or something?

They look fertile but do seem to be drying out. When I have clumps of eggs like this, I used to bank the vermiculite up around them, so that they were all in contact with some. It didn't seem to matter if the lower ones were buried a little, but it did make checking them awkward. For this reason, I swapped to laying them on a bed of damp vermiculite (as you've done), but then covering them over with damp sphagnum moss. This keeps the humidity up around the eggs, but allows you to check them easily just by lifting the moss.

I'd also maybe make the vermiculite slightly damper by trickling some water into a corner (so that you don't accidentally get it directly on the eggs). As the container is vented, you'll need to do this regularly anyway as the water evaporates. Make sure that the water is the same temp as the vermuculite before you add it.

Um, I think they are drying out, and I think that keeping them inside the vivarium will keep drying them out. I'd take them out and put them on a towel on a heat pad or something. And putting a thermometer in would tell you if they are drying out due to being a little too warm. How damp is the vermiculite?
