I havent yet with leos, but i have with corn and king snakes. usually they are too weak or dont grow an egg tooth to get out of the egg... its sad.... but it happens. people say, you cant play god, but you can breed....sorry for your loss....

Yes I have, and it can be from a number of reasons ranging from improper incubation environments, to calcium deficient females and unhealthy embryos.
