Unabsorbed egg yolk! What to do video!

We decided to make a video of how to deal with unabsorbed egg yolk. This baby spider emerged from the egg early, before absorbing her egg sack. So we put her in a little deli cup, but she didn't absorb any of it, and we decided to cut it off!
After few days her belly was closed and she shed just fine :).
Then we tried feeding her, but she wouldn't take it, and about a month after her shed, we decided to force / assist feed her and she took the pinky rat the first time we assisted her :).
The same thing you can probably do after you find a baby with twisted umbilicus.

The baby is now doing fine, and shes messing up her tub after the first meals :P.

Ok so here is the video of the whole proces!

Hope it helps :).
This or twisted umbilicus happened (or will happen sometime eventually) probably to most of the breeders, but we didn't find a lot of videos of how to deal with it, so here is one more :).

That is fantastic! Thank you.

great video! its always nice to see stuff like this. its extremely helpful to alot of people that have just started breeding or dont have huge collections. im sure the breeders see this stuff more frequently so its nice to see. jkobylka has a video somewhere dealing with hard bellys, its the same type video. theyre very helpful

Did you cut, or did this snake pip on it's own?

Actually we did cut :).
And that is another thing, that we were wondering, what would have happened if we wouldn't cut. Either the baby would emerge by itself, but probably still with the egg sack. We think that because that egg sack was looking weird since the moment it came out from the egg which was few hours after cutting. THe color was off and it was smelly :/. And it didn't absorb any of it during 36 hours inside the deli cup.
The other scenario is that it could have died inside the egg if we wouldn't cut at all because it would not be able to absorb that yolk.
I guess we would never know, but it turned out fine and that's most important :).

Yeah we've seen Kobylka's video on hard belly and it's also very informative, and it's actually a topic that's rarely talked about :/.

Old one... but just helped me out. Thanks!

A molded egg, odd looking, I kept it clean during the 60 days of incubation. After cutting, all the other came out and this one didnt. I took it out and found the same mass, not rock hard but hard.

I open the sack and found this...
Its consistency is like a shrimp...unabsorbable for sure...
