With such a large egg yield it would be highly unlikely he would miss out getting hypos, if the snake laid a large clutch as is common with this species, he should indeed get more then a couple, more like a few hypos. My scenario and your ball python scenario involve small numbers of eggs where such a poor outcome could actually happen.



But if the snake laid a normal sized clutch that is common for this particular species, such a poor outcome is HIGHLY unlikely.
