Came home to this today.

I wasn't sure if they were going to hatch.

Thoughts/recommendations on what to do with the rest of the clutch?

Joe looks like a fat and healthy youngster and the eggs look fine. Sounds to me like the temps may have been on the low side, was there any yolk sack/ambyonic fluid present? Thats the primary risk, if the fluid can no longer support the hatchlings inside. I would definately mark top dead center of the eggs and keep an eye out for "windows". Keep that one in with the eggs, maybe he will tell em the coast is clear....

AWESOME man!!

It might be a great idea to sort of mound some of the vermiculite up towards the eggs on the sides that are very indented so there is moist contact with the medium, and sometimes lay some moist spagnum moss on top as well in that situation, if it isn't too late already. I always try to do that to the best of my ability, and it always gives great results.

Great looking neonate man!, good luck with the rest too buddy!

Thanks guys.

I think I have had the temps a little too cool. Looks like one benefit is BIG hatchlings.
