"And it gets even better. has anyone here hatched a baby with this particular deformity? If so, did it survive?"

I hatched a pied last season with that exact issue... eyes are located in the bump in the center of the head... I assist fed it a couple times, but it never took off and I eventually euthanized him. I believe mine had other internal issues in addition to the eyes. My gut says if your snake is normal except for the eye issue, it should do fine once you get it feeding.
