Hard to say without pics, I'm wondering what you mean by flat at the tail?
I like to keep fresh hatched snakes in a tub that has damp moss to aid them in their first shed and a shallow water bowl so they can drink, though most of the time they stay under the moss until they shed. After they shed, offer them pinkies and hope for the best. Not all babies are robust, especially if they come from smaller eggs.

They were nearly all the same size when the pipped out of egg!
But now only these two really look bad.
I Keep them in a box with a great bowl of water an on wet kitchen paper so temp and humidity is perfect for them!
Flat meens that they look like dihydratet and the skin hang down side by side!
Hope itīs only because of the shed and they will get well soon!

I'm not sure as I never bred before and I don't know much about this but maybe whilst in the eggs they didn't absorb the yolk or whatever is in there so that might be affecting them...?
Just a guess... sorry..
