Just checked on the eggs and heres how they are looking
Only 4 are showing veins still but it seems that one of them is a little moldy

You can pat the mold away/dry carefully with a paper towel, but it may come back. If it does you could use a foot powder to soak up and dry that area out. Sometimes if just one egg gets moldy it may just go bad no matter what you do unfortunately. You can try placing all the eggs on a light diffuser so they don’t get wet directly from the substrate.

That’s an “adorable tiny egg” to be sure!
There’s nothing wrong with trying to eliminate the mold you’re seeing. @banereptiles gives excellent tips for handling it. They’re also right that, of course, sometimes eggs are lost and that’s why they’re getting moldy. On the other hand, the egg(s) with mold may continue to develop normally despite the mold. Perfectly healthy hatchlings sometimes emerge from seriously gross-looking eggs.
As your eggs grow, be vigilant about not disrupting their orientation. The eggs’ shells are semi-permeable, and they will develop an internal gas pocket for oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange. Developing embryos use this gas pocket. Corn snake eggs in nature remain in a stable, constant position after they are laid. They aren’t meant to be rotated by a parent as would be the case with birds’ eggs. A shift in position can actually be lethal for developing corn embryos. I don’t mean that you can’t move them if necessary. Just be conscientious about not changing their orientation if you do. (You may already know this. If so, apologies. Hopefully the info will be useful for someone.)

Thanks for the help! Its a good thing i havent been moving them much then and only really did that at the start when they were first layed to find the embryo. When candling i have rotated them slightly but not for an extended period of time maybe only a second or 2. Im hoping everything turns out good with these eggs! And the egg with the mold doesnt seem to be spreading still and thats without me tampering with it.

Awwwwwww! Cuteness overload for sure! What is meant to be will be but it is hard not to wish that all of them live to “pip out” as heathy little cutie babies! If the one in the smallest little egg appears you need to make that one a keeper!

Thanks! But its roughly day 8/9 of incubation and im only seeing 4 eggs with veins? Is this anything to worry about or should it be fine?
