Two week point in incubation

Here are two comparative photos of my snow corn eggs...

First photo taken a day or so after being laid:

This photo was taken today, two weeks after being laid:

I am pleased about the way the dents have filled in, although a couple eggs have a stain on them it seems...I dunno...anyways at what point can I "candle" them to see fertile veins and be certain? (well fairly certain who knows what could happen)

P.S. they have 80% humidity...I try and have like no holes but it won't go higher....maybe my gauge...anyways and they are on a warm shelf in my herp room.....76 at night....80-81 or so during the day. I am trying to prevetn fluctuations but so far so good.

Looks good!!! Mine laid 22 but only 10 are still good. I put a piece of paper towel cut to fit the surface of the egg box and I use it as a humidity gage. If the towel is too wet I can leave the box open to let the medium dry or if the towel is wet I can add water to the medium. I got the idea from the Cornsnake Manual.
Cheers,
Trevor

Yeah I definitly love the paper towel. I also keep one on these eggs. I have a tiny fraction of the corner of the paper towel dipped in a water small water bowl I have in the container with the eggs.....it slowly soaks it up over a few days without drowning them. Or so it seems at this point, and I can tell its really helped with the humidity.
