Help with care of my first clutch of eggs

I am new to the corn snake breeding scene. This is my first time ever breeding any kind of snakes and i have some advise with the care of the eggs but i want some other opinions.
I have the eggs in a plastic container with with a locking top. with about 3 inches of unfertilized potting soil. i did add a little water to the soil to make it damp but i am still concerned on how humid to keep the eggs. Before i could gather the eggs after the mother had laid them, one of the eggs had a dimple in it and it still has not rounded back out. Does any one know if the egg will round back out? and what is a good indicator for how humid the eggs should be kept.
Thanks, Morgan

I will attach a picture soon i just have to charge my cameras batteries.
 
In FL you can probably just put the container in a warm spot of your house. I would switch out the potting soil for one of the more common incubation mediums...HatchRite, sphagnum moss, vermiculite, etc. The dimpled egg should plump back up if humidity is high enough. Good luck!
 
The humidity in my egg containers in between 70-80%. When I asked about how humid they container should be and posted pics, people said it should be humid but the eggs shouldn't have water pooling on them or around them in the incubation medium, so where they are right now seems to be just fine, none have dried up and all are still looking great at week 4 and 5 :D
