You said that the eggs were sweating so that would lead me to think that maybe your medium was to moist. Does condensation collect like water drops on your container? There should only be very fine mist like drops that collect on the top of the container.
In Leos I have better luck with a very dry perlite medium. It is easy to save collapsed eggs, but once they sweat they are almost always lost.
One more piece of advise that some might not agree with. Don't ever cut open a Leo egg. I have done it about a dozen times and only one baby ever made it. Now I never do, and almost all that I would have cut open before, have hatched fine. Some have hatched out as much as 3 days after their clutchmate.
Good luck with the others, if you keep trying you'll be up to your ears in hungry little mouths in no time.
