Just had a clutch of 23. Not sure id they are or not fertile?.... Please help they look weird. See pics.
 
Good eggs: whiter, drier, leathery, rounder, often stuck together (don't separate!!)

Slugs: yellower, wetter, rubbery, more oblong, never stuck together.

If in doubt, incubate. Good eggs can have white snowflakes, or be partially calcified, or have clear windows. You may not be able to tell a fertile egg by candling.

If you have a kingsnake, and are positive the eggs are infertile, slugs make a good snack!
 
The second post isn't showing any pictures. If in doubt, incubate. If they're bad, there will be no doubt after a week or two.

Sorry to say, but almost all of those look infertile to me:(
You might still have a couple goodies though!

I think I see at most 6, and more likely 4, eggs that are potentially good. The majority are duds.
