Egg looks deflated! Help!

I have 1 good egg(candled it) out of a clutch of 2 from my TurboCorns, I keep both of them in a 55 gallon with a plexiglass divider and on 5/11 the male broke through the divider and copulated. She laid a clutch of 2 on 6/11. They hadn't been brumated and I wasn't preparing her to lay eggs,and I think that is the reason for the small clutch size. Also they are 2010 snakes. This is what the eggs looked like when they were laid:

This is what they started looking like a few days ago:

I put a damp paper towel on it yesterday, and I haven't seen a change so far.

Can you help me?
 
Generally, the reasons for egg collapse when they're seemingly healthy are either a lack of humidity or the embryo has stopped developing and the egg has failed.

Keep trying with the paper towel, but with an egg that far gone after looking good to start with, you may not be in luck. Fingers crossed for you.
