Thought I had a dud egg sac - NOPE!

I have 4 larger P. regius babies that have emerged from the sac, two of which have already molted and eating.
Out of curiosity, I cut open the rest of the sac, which was pretty hard. I used a magnifying glass and there are babies e v e r y w h e r e. Will they survive like the first 4? Why such a difference in size and life stages??
Oh yeah - help, what do I do? lol I have them in the container I had from before, making sure the humidity stays up and Im changing the paper towel every day that the sac lays on.
Thanks a ton!

The picture seems too blurry for me to even discern what’s going on.

Its hard and there are slings.

I'm guessing the 4 that are big cannibalized the others in the sac. It's probably best to just separate the 4 strong ones and let the others cannibalize. This way you'll only have strong survivors.

Thanks! I have, they all have molted once already, that is exciting to see. The picture is hard to see but there is a lot of movement there.
