    Hatchling Care

    Just wondering why there's not a hatchling care sticky. Everything from setting them up at first, like washing them off, sexing them, setting up a tub; how long they generally take to shed; how to set each of them up after they shed; when to offer food; when to really worry about assist/force feeding; what to do with one that didn't quite absorb the yolk, or other problems that occur; how often to hold them/not hold them; basically the sticky of baby/hatchling setup and care.

    Anyway, I'm not the one to come up with it, but it would be very useful and beneficial to us newbies... Maybe someone's working on it already...

    Another great big THANKS to all of you who have helped me learn here. This is definitely a great community!
    Lots of BPs, and still not enough!

    I agree. Although I am not gonna jump on that due to this being our first year breeding. So we really don't know what works the best and are still going day by day. But I would love to have a sticky about this!
