Has she been bred? If not, just remove the eggs and throw them out as they won't be fertile.

Popping in from 2nd tri.

I'd leave them be. My sister's snake (who we were told was a he!) had eggs, and she left them alone and they hatched 4 healthy babies the other day.

They do need to be incubated...I know that much...but I dont have any experience with it. :-/

definately dont turn them hun, if they have been there a while they may well be infertile. they do need to be incubated ASAP for any chance of survival. if you cant get an incubator, gently dampen some sand from the tank and put it in a feeding box and place the eggs in there to try and sustain some warmth but keep them in the tank but so as not to let beardies get to them because if they are there too long they will eat them. hope this helps x

yes they defo need to be incubated for chance of survival - you can make incubators yourself as the proper ones are quick expensive

theres lots of tutorials on how to make them on youtube

Me and my DH have just had 27 baby beardies hatch.

You cannot turn them and you have to keep them flat.

You would need an icubator but they are quite expensive and you would need a box to put them in with vermiculite. the vermiculite needs to be moist.

Then they go in the incubator at roughly 30 - 34 degrees.

They then take up to 72 days to hatch and when they do you need to leave them in the incubator for 2-3 days for the umbilical to heal up then they would need to go in a seperate viv from the mother and father.

If you dont want to keep them put the eggs in the freezer and this will kill them in the quickest nicest way.
