"Boobie egg" finally hatched...

[Lolo76]

One full week after the first clutch-mate hatched, little "Bobbie the Boobie" (as a friend dubbed him/her) finally decided to emerge. He's actually a bit larger than I predicted, at a whopping 35g, and looks pretty good - but the belly is rather swollen and purple, assuming because the yolk was a bit much for his size. I haven't popped "him" yet, as it's just too fragile-looking at this point.

Anyway, here are some photos, and I had a couple of questions... mostly if everything looks okay, and whether I should do anything special in terms of housing/care for now. He's currently with the other babies (in a small tub with moist paper towels), but I was thinking of moving him to a separate tub tonight. Also, do you think I should start him on fuzzy mice? Doesn't look big enough to handle a hopper!





"Belly button" is a little weird too - like he's overstuffed!




P.S. As you can see, I was wrong in my original guess of him being a mojave... he was just so far behind the other babies, his coloring hadn't come in when I cut them last week. D'oh! Oh well, he's still cute as a button.
