Problem in being there when the time comes

Hi Guys.
I have a bit of a problem, my eggs are on day 54 right now and unfortunately I have to go away for a week on business. Now the problem I'm faced with is what can I do about the situation... I'm scared they hatch when I am gone. Currently I don't have anyone near that can check on them in case. What can I do to ensure they will be okay if they do hatch when I'm away?

P.S this trip came up unexpected and can't do anything about it as it is for work.

Please any suggestions or tips will be greatly appreciated.
 
I'd set up a container/ tub/ vivarium with a water bowl, damp moss and hiding places, that is escape proof and large enough to put the container of eggs inside of. As they hatch they will usually find the moss and hide under it. Damp moss is attractive to freshly hatched snakes because they generally go into shed after hatching. I had to do this in August when I was about to have a surgery and a couple of eggs did hatch and the snakes were fine.
 
I set up a bin in my rack for the egg container. LINK

And then this year and last year I set up a video camera to watch the eggs! It's a little iZon camera that connects to wifi and you can watch it from your phone or iPad.
