Sorry to hear you lost 6 babies but congratulations on the two live. Hypo sonorans are fantastic. I cannot wait to put mine to one of my Type II anerythristic sonorans next year.

As far as the dead babies go, is it not a possibilty that they were still born? It seems strange that 6 would die as a result of the female. Alternatively, could the cage have been too small for a gravid female about to give birth?

Make sure you post pictures of the babies once they have sloughed. That was the father?
