Pastel het albino x Toffino (slightly wordy)
Several years ago I bought a small female pastel het albino. I grew her out slow and steady. At the beginning of last season she was 4 and pushing 1800g. I decided to prove her out as het by pairing with my Toffino. She went late. Gave me one egg and 5 slugs. It was disheartening. The egg had a huge window and weak veins I wasn't hopefull but into the incubator it went. Fast forward to about 2 weeks ago. The window had developed a nice coat of mold but candling showed the baby was ok. Well I went to the beach and when I got home I was shocked to find the window had begun to leak and maggots we're crawling all over the egg. I knew he had to be gone. Egg still looked horrible but plump. So I washed off the maggots and candled. To my surprise the baby was still moving. So to keep fly's off I put the incubation tub in a snake bag tied up back in the incubator. These photos are today.
It would appear to be a pastel het albino or toffee that is definitely one tough baby.

She is a little girl she will be staying here to find out if she's toffee or albino and she will be needing one heck of a good name befitting her situation

They got in mine because it was the last clutch and I shut the big incubator off she was just in a rough debater and it has little holes for the cord and that's how they got in no doubt in my mind on that and then you know I don't know how they got into the tub though because I had it sealed with glad press and seal but they did and I'm just glad she made it up

I would say I posted this to tell people no matter how bad your egg gets leave it in the incubator that was by far the worst reptile egg I have ever seen I was concerned about it when I put it in the incubator and life found a way it always does these eggs in the wild go through so much and we're all worried about our temperatures in our humidity in the incubators it's not like that in the wild these eggs go through wet and cold and dry and hot and lips never give up on your eggs until they're rotten

Oh wow! What a little fighter she is, and so plump and healthy-looking to boot. I respect your determination to not give up on her.
Consulted Google, and these three seem to most fitting:
Eferhild- Warrior maiden
Tesha- survivor, Indian origin
Heloise- fighter, French origin
