I have two veiled females that laid eggs for me. One laid in january, and one in feburary. the eggs have hatched and the babies are not well.
First batch from January female hatched 3 weeks ago. All babies poped out with eyes wide open and an appetite for the first day. After the second day they all closed their eyes and never opened them again. I tried in vain to help them, but needless to say, I have watched them all waste away to nothing and all have died. I removed the body today. Those were from a clutch of 13. All 13 are now under my front porch 
Second batch from February hatched out a week ago. Same thing is happening again. All poped out fine! eyes wide open! I even got to witness them hatching, it was incredible to watch them wriggle from the eggs. They ate pin head crickets within 2 hours of hatching. The next day, their eyes began to close. And now all of their eyes are closed. This is a clutch of 38 babies all with their eyes closed. Its been a week and 3 days and they have not eaten. They have not opened their eyes. I am in utter dispare because I have to watch these 38 slowly die off and I can't figure out what is wrong.....What happened?
HEre is my set ups.
I keep 6 babies per 10 gallon tank, with lots of teeny plants for them to hide in.
Basking spot is 85 F and cool end is 70F
No substrate, just a paper towel.
They get misted in short bursts mulitple times a day, and i pay close attention that they do not get a drop of water over their nose.
It is breaking my heart to watch them all die. I do not know what I did wrong? I have been ready for these babies for 7 months..... why wont their eyes open!
any help would be appreciated. thank you.
ps. the pic of the little baby on this page, has the same little plastic plants that i have for mine
