I know I have a couple of months before I have to worry about this but, since all the eggs are in a cluster, how do the eggs in the middle hatch?

I know I have a couple of months before I have to worry about this but, since all the eggs are in a cluster, how do the eggs in the middle hatch?
I've only hatched Burms once,but here goes....
I had a young female,that I was not intending to breed(I put her in with a male while cleaning her cage,which apparently was enough!LOL!)lay a clutch of 25 eggs,half were bad right from the start.The other 13 eggs were in a clump,out of these,only the 3 at the center went full term...2 died in the eggs,and the one at the center hatched!This little girl was perfect,eats like a champ.My point is,that eggs in clumps seem to do allright,I've hatched plenty of Ball eggs where 2 or 3 were clumped together.If you get the eggs soon enough after laying,you can gently seperate them.Be sure to mark the top of each egg,before seperating,the eggs should be placed in an incubator in the same position they were layed in.Also remember that pyhtons in the wild incubate thier eggs in clumps,as long as your temps and humidity are good,you should be fine.
Good luck,and enjoy your Burms.
