they should feel 'full' but squishy, that bottom right was a great example in your pic of what they should look like but if they've sunken in just increase the humidity. if you handle the eggs be gentle and make sure you keep them the same way up as they were laid.
as promised here's a pic of this year's set-up
poly box
inside the poly box, plastic tub with the eggs in on a heatmat (on a pulse stat)
under the sphagnum moss, 9 eggs in vermiculite

as nobody took me up on my offer of free incubation i resorted to the poly box which was plan B
plan A was a seedling propagator, bigger than the poly box, larger heated area than the heatmat, again on a pulse stat, but there's 3 times as much room! |

| Cheers GP pics are very mush appriciated - think i've lost all my eggs to be honest - no idea why, temps and humidity have been OK but they seam to have gone mouldy and yellow/sunken and stink. Think i'm gonna have to admit defeat soon and bin um. |

oh hun, sometimes they're just not meant to be  even if they're not obvious slugs they could still prove to be unfertile |

| think it came with an order of frozen mice from TSM............ they're used to transporting fish i believe, your local pet/aquatic place might let you have one, or i think i've seen them for sale for £3-5 depending on size, just can't remember where |
