Hi Bob, this is where experience comes in. I have hatched thousands of snake eggs and you can poke, etc push back in etc, healthy animals and they do not drown.

When one dies in the egg, it dies from organ failure.
That is reassuring. I was really convinced I had scared the poor thing to death by checking on the hatching progress. I did think, though, that once it begins to breath air after pipping it can't go back to being uderwater without drowning. But to go and drown must have meant it had some other problem, such as organ failure like you say. So the temp spike is still my main suspect in both snakes' failures to survive.
