Aww, damn. That just ices a really sh*t cake for you, I'm truly sorry.
Its sounds like you're having some kind of neutral tube / notochord developmental issues early on in gestation. I've had similar issues in litters from older dogs and ferrets, very similar looking heads (some more graphic) on the dead ones with kinked tails on the live ones and some mental defects. I have no idea how it would translate to reptile eggs, but maybe some googling on neutral tube defects would help you figure out if there's a external cause to it. Hopefully someone with more experience as it relates to reptiles will chime in, it may help me on my quest too.
I feel your pain. There's almost nothing more discouraging than a bad breeding season no matter what species.  ----- Julie
