Early Hatching?

My corn snake eggs are due to hatch in two weeks but as you can see the brown (vermiculite stained) and black marked egg are quite dimpled compared to the other egg from the same clutch marked with blue. I have candled both eggs and movement is very visable and constant so they are not dead. Are they hatching early and if so are there any problems this may cause like not being fully formed. All advice is very welcome

The eggs may (or may not) dent in the days preceding hatching. Maybe by a week or so. Not all eggs in the clutch will dent, not all the eggs dent to the same extent, and not all clutches have eggs that dent at all. It's a perfectly normal sign of impending hatching- in days to week(s).
