I have a brown house snake. Over a year old. She got loose outside but thankfully came back. Im guessing she had interactions with males. She had just laid eggs last night. 5 fertile and 1 infertile. I used the candling method. She got loose about 6/7 months ago i believe. Do i incubate them or not. Its currently summer here. And i do not have an incubator at this time. Please help

Those are native where you are, right? Could you find a biologist at the local university, conservation organization, or zoo (if there is one), and get the information you need? It seems like the eggs would have been laid in the wild and hatched without incubation, so maybe you could put them in a deli cup with an incubation medium and an appropriate amount of water to mimic the moisture in the soil where you live, and just keep them at normal outside temperatures. Of course, keeping them at constant temperature and humidity levels in an incubator will likely help them hatch faster, but I doubt it's absolutely necessary.
