Hatchling fails to shed?

Will they actually eat before the first shed, if this happens?

Yes they will typically eat when the other hatchlings eat.

You can still see when an Albino goes"blue". The skin turns pinkish colored and the eyes actually turn silver instead of blue.

Hope that helps,

With the hatchling skin on, it's not quite that easy--eyes aren't cloudy yet, though, either way.

Thanks for the advice, guys, it's been invaluable. He ate a mouse fuzz last night, and my worries are gone. :)
