I don’t personally trust myself to make the rack, I mean most people wouldn’t trust a teenager to do that. Do you have a brand preference I’ve heard hood things about freedom breeder?

I think they are all good. In my case , I just can’t afford them.

If you’re going to buy a rack I recommend going with one that can interchangeably take the FB5 and FB8 tubs from Freedom Breeder (or one of the equivalent size ones from Vision/ARS.) The deli cup holder version is really nice for keeping the water fresh and unspilled.
The small black hides like the ones from Reptile Basics work well with the hatchlings too.
In the meantime 6qt shoebox totes will do. If you don’t have an under tub heater and thermostat to use on so many you can put them in 87 F ambient like they had in the incubator and they should do well.
(And don’t panic, just work on the issues and offer food no more than every 5 days or so, and try some fixes in between.
I don’t even start to offer my hatchlings food until 1 week after their first shed, and I don’t even consider assist feeding until a month after that unless there’s another factor.)

So I don’t have anything new to add to the advice already given but I am going to be the (nice) lol! bad guy here and point out the fact that if you intentionally breed 2 snakes together, then you should already have 6 quart, or comparable, tubs ready for the hatchlings to go into before the eggs hatch. Having them separated aids in keeping track of who eats and who doesn’t.
Unless you have buyers lined up for them you are going to have them around for awhile which means feeding and enclosure maintenance. 
Welcome to the forum @weevil Best of luck to you!

@weevil you can make your own cheap and very easy. Use a shelving system, of grated shelves cover with a very thin sheet of wood. Tape the heat tape down along the back. And plug into a thermostat. You can loop the tape from one shelf to the other, or cut it to fit each shelf. Second way will require more electric work, but nothing to hard to do.
Heat tape pay per foot (bean store)
Cord and Clip Combo for Heat Tape (or make your own)

I did this one with the heat pads on the ends for largest tubs. For smaller tuns, you can run heat tape along the back of each shelf.
