the first one looks good ! the second not so, the eggs should be firm and turgid soft and squidgy is probrably infertile ! im assuming shes a young or small female possibly her first clutch ?

Seperate them, you dont want the female getting gravid again. |

ok, imagine how horrific it would be for a 13 year old girl to get pregnant.............................
then imagine how much more horrific it would be if she got pregnant again at 14!!
separate them asap for their health. they probably stopped eating due to changes in their (new?) enclosures. treat them like new arrivals, no interaction for a week then try a feed. don't handle them again till they're feeding regularly. |

| he should providing his new enclosure is set up properly. like i said treat him like a new arrival and he should be fine. snakes aren't sociable creatures, if you see 2 'cuddling up' together that are sharing a viv they're really just both after the best spot in the viv |

| usually you see the slit in the egg and they should hatch within 24 hours, any longer than that and they might need help if it's a weaker hatchling or particularly tough egg. |
