Slightly worried about this hatchling

Hi,

This one came out with a pink stub ( about 8mm long ) coming from the belly button which I thought would dry up and fall off fairly quickly. I wish I had grabbed some pictures but I didn't think of it at the time.

He only left the egg yesterday but none of the others have left traces of blood on the papertowels. :worry:

The last one of the clutch is still in his egg but the first one only left his on the 20th so am not quite panicking about him yet. :oops:

Any advice on what I should do/ not do?

yea give it a few days.. they will dry up and fall off.. If it just came out of the egg yesterday then I wouldn't worry just yet..

No worries D. I had this happen about 6 times this season. It's fine! :)

It's going to be okay. Keep the towel moist if, what he doesn't draw into himself will dry up and fall off.

Yup looks fine to me.

I had an albino have that this season, and I about shat myself. It will fall off shortly.

Yup, some of mine were the same way. No worries.

It's fine. I will dry up and fall off.

Thanks gang, :salute:

The blood and bits just kinda freaked me out. :oops:

I had a few like that last year. They all ended up drying up/falling off. Shouldn't be a problem :)

OMG, what is it? It looks like a cut with a piece of intestine protruding! Glad it's nothing/normal. Ack!
