You should remove the female snake from the enclosure.Put her in a tub of water to clean her up,then place her in a separate enclosure.Leave the babies in the main enclosure until the amniotic sac pulls away from the umbilical cord(about 2-3 days).Don’t pull the cord off!Once the snakes are free of the sac you can move them to a different enclosure.Keep the humidity high and the temp around 87-90 degrees.They should shed in about 10 days.the you can feed them.

The brown eggs where just unfertilized eggs .Yes this is normal.Sometimes it’s caused by improper heating temps.Good luck with the new litter.
