Corn snake has laid eggs
Discussion
According to here http://www.snake-city.com/eggs-and-incubation.html if they look deflated they may be de-hydrated.
Looks like it has some good information on there, good luck!

I think reptile eggs, with their soft shell, do tend to deflate a bit. From what I've seen on TV, they tend to have a dimple in them somewhere although I'm no expert.
What colour corn snakes do you own? Could be an interesting combination
The mother is Typical Carolina Corn - Orange/red/yellow & the father is light brown with vertical dark brown stripe.What colour corn snakes do you own? Could be an interesting combination

I have a snow corn. The pet shop i go to has corn snake eggs all the time and they are deflated/dimpled. I got told they lay egg is batches up to 15 in one sitting then a week or so later they go at it again with another batch. I was told its because it increases the chance of them surviving in the wild. Are you going to keep any of them, what corn snake is yours

Aha, I wasnt aware of that, cheers.They are both my snakes.
Depending on how many egges hatch, I may keep some, and may sell some.
One of my mates is a breeder. I've asked him if he can help but he can't post for 14 days due to PH policy. Anyway, he's given me some information that should help, but needs more information.
He says the eggs are fertile, but dehydrated. Can you post up your incubator setup so he can have a look? He says he can't advise further until he's seen the setup, but that if all else fails, the eggs should be in a small sealed tub, half-filled with vermiculite that has been soaked and all excess water squeezed out. Place the eggs in there with the lid on, keep the temperature at 27.5degC. Ideally you need a pulse or dimmer thermostat on the incubator. The best way to rehydrate the eggs is to soak a piece of kitchen roll in lukewarm water and place it over the top of the eggs.
He says if you want to chat with him, he can help you on thecornsnake.co.uk. His username there is mikerichards. As this could be critical to the health of the eggs, I hope PH won't mind me linking to somewhere that can help quickly.
HTH.
