Graphic pics from clutch 3

Well last week we had clutch #3 come out of there shells. Turned out to be 6 nice little babies. 1.3 normals and .2 Mojaves. One was a little boob egg the other a nice big fatty. \
The big girl had some problems though that had to be corrected. For what ever reason her belly was not fully sealed and part of it had started to heal folded in on its self. I had to sew up her belly, cut the folded part, keep her heart in and then sew up the newly corrected unfolded part. All in all it went fairly well. I really didn't think she was going to make it. After I made the first cut I thought I had made the wrong choice, but today she is still looking very good. I maybe should have made another cut because it looks like she may still have a small hump still. If I had though I don't think I would have been able to keep her heart in at all, it was hard enough trying to keep it in with the cuts I did make. Any ways here are a few pics of the clutch and her.

It's been almost a week now and she still looks good, so we have high hopes she'll be fine. I put some diluted iodine on it and I spray her down with Chlorhexidine every day or two to make sure the wound stays fairly clean. I'll post more pics later as time goes by until she is fully healed.

I'm glad she's doing well! Thanks for sharing and definitely keep us updated on her progress.

Way to go! She looks great :) Did you learn from the King in his "guts" video by chance? lol

lol that video is a very helpful video, but I just really went by common sense. You can look at it and see what needed to be done.

You did a great job from the looks of it! On a side note, I happened apon this thread while eating my lunch (not that it hurt my appetite or anything) but what possesses one to open a thread that says "graphic" right in the subject when eating? lol :gj:

WOW!!! Incredible job! Hopefully they little one pulls through for ya!
