It is not irresponsible to not have thought about this before you started breeding. This is not something you expected to happen, to have a deformed hatchling. So do not get after yourself. As Jeremy said we are here to help you if you ever need to put down an animal. Some of us have large internet shoulders we can share. The responsible thing was that you are here to learn proper ways to work through these situations. I still remember losing my first reptile, a baby Dumerils boa. As hard as it was she really was suffering, the Vet's help was not enough, she lost the fight.
Sometimes there are just one who does not come out right. Putting reptiles in the fridge will slow their heartrate dramatically, then when placed in the freezer there is really no pain because they are not warm enough to feel much, if at all anything.
Good luck with your other hatchlings, if you can post some pictures of the little "Banshees".
