Ill start this off by saying this was my first year attempting to breed BPs. Lets start from the beginning.

Back in November I paired my BPs and saw multiple locks. I continued to breed them every 5-7 days for about a month before I noticed the female swelling. I assumed she was either ovulating or gravid and stopped the pairing. Come December this girl started to actually shrink down again so I assumed she reabsorbed the eggs (before this she had gone off food, wrapped her water bowl, rested on her sides). After I got her eating again, I decided to pair the two and yet again, I saw a lock. This time I only put them together 2 times, and decided to call it quits. Finally she sheds and I anxiously await the "post shed clutch" but it doesn't come... one week, two, three, and finally after a month of waiting post shed I decided she didn't take and i'll have to try again next year. This was about the 1st of February that I decided all was lost. Business as usual, she was eating like before and looking plump but not PLUMP. Finally I go to clean their cages on the 9th of May and don't notice anything out of the ordinary. On the 11th when I look again, there is a pile of eggs. Obviously I freak out, rapidly get my incubator up to temps, and place the eggs in a Tupperware with some saturated vermiculite underneath one of those white plastic egg trey light things... (IDK how to explain it, but this site suggested them, they have little squares and allow the eggs to be suspended over the water) ... Unfortunately the eggs must have been laid shortly after I checked the cages on the 9th because 1 was extremely desiccated and an almost instant write off (eventually it molded and was removed), 3 were very desiccated, 2 were slightly desiccated, and finally 2 were perfectly oval and plump going into the incubator.

Unfortunately the one egg molded over, but was stuck to 4 others and I decided to keep it in there for fear of ripping the others. The other 4 dented ones never popped out, and I was concerned they were dead however there were veins in all 6 remaining eggs, so I kept them all incubating. I watched them very closely, temp ranges from 88F to 90F, popped the top 2 times (once at the end of May and once in the middle of June). Humidity wasn't an issue because there was standing water under the vermiculite, however I didn't have a gauge inside the box itself telling me how humid it was so hey I guess it could have been an issue? (re-reading and just to clarify, the eggs were on two layers of this egg sheet, and never once came in contact with the vermiculite or water)

Finally we get to the 6th of July, 55 days after the 11th when I collected the eggs from mama. Though it was my first time, I was sure I could cut the eggs and have a peek at whether I had 6 new babies, or only 2. I was very careful and cut a 1in "V" without nicking any of the blood vessels. Lo and behold I somehow had 6 formed babies, though I couldn't get a very good look at them just a little patch of pattern. I touched them very lightly with my medical scissors and they all gave that little twitch. I'm on cloud nine. Well, the 7th comes around and I don't see any little heads poking out... Then this morning I open the box and get a nasty smell of rot, which I attribute to the egg I had removed just 2 days ago and proceed to look in the little V flaps I had made just 48 hours earlier. Nothing has changed, however there is now a green snot (srry, but that's what it looks like) that's beginning to reseal the eggs. They haven't moved, they aren't moving currently and I'm completely at a loss of what I should do. They're still in the incubator, just as they were before.

I'm not sure how pictures will help, but if you need them I can probably figure out how to post them.. If anyone had any advice or information on what went wrong or what I should do going forward, I would appreciate it.
