Snakes, believe it or not, take very good care of their eggs. They will wrap themselves around them and shiver their muscles to keep them warm. Just keep your heat lamp over them and thy should be just fine. and after they hatch, they baby snakes will eat the eggshells, so don't worry about them.
First of you need a incubator you can incubate them in a cupboard if its warm enough but most times the eggs die this way. So go to the petshop and buy a incubator and some perlite, spaghnum moss or vermiculite. What you do is you take a ice cream tub and full it halfway with vermiculite, the vermiculite must be damp but if you squeeze it no water should drip out of it, it should just stick to ur fingers. Then you use a screw driver or fork and make some holes in the side of the icecream tub and in the lid. You place the eggs in there, if they are lose you can half bury each egg but it they are clamp together putting them in the icecream tub wil be just fine. Then you set the temperature to 28C And place a thermometer in the tub with the eggs to monitor the temperature, you might need to tweak the temperature of the incubator a bit. You can also make a incubator, its very easy, use a 100wat fish tank heater and a foam tub (used when transporting fish) put two brick in the foam tub, poor water in till the level of the water is about 2 centimeters from the top of the bricks. Set the fishtank heater to 28C and place in the water and switch it on. Then just tweak it as necessary.
