Ah, I know reptile eggs need humidity because they have no eggshell. I
have been keeping the compost damped with a sprayer.


That's amphibians - reptile eggs DO have a shell, but it is usually
leathery. Many of them need dry conditions to hatch, but grass
snakes are aquatic creatures, and so lay their eggs near water or
in similar places.

But I know nothing about how best to care for the eggs - the above
is just background.
