kinked babies

I have a clutch of 7 tri-colored hognose snakes that are hatching out right now. 4 of the 7 hatched out with extreme kinks in the spine and tail. The other 3 went full term but died in the egg, they were also kinked up. Anyone have any experience with this? The parents are perfect so I can't imagine it's genetic. I have always had success incubating eggs on perlite in my reptile room before. The temp fluctuates a little bit around 80-84 but rarely drops below or goes above those. Could over saturation of the perlite play a part? I have more eggs incubating so hopefully the first clutch was just a fluke, what do you guys think?
