NEED ADVICE. Baby out of egg, but still attached.

Ok so I just went and checked on her and she was now separated from the egg. Only thing is she didn't absorb her egg sac. So now what am I supposed to do? Try to feed her? Wait? Also she has a little bit of the cord still attached on her. I rinsed her off best I could but there is still some debris attached to the cord.

EDIT: Also she weighed in at only 33G when her sibling weighed in at 65G.

Should I be worried about this? Should I try to clean it.

Thanks for your help guys. First timer daddy here.

^ Need to know. Thanks for all the advice guys.

Yolk.

It depends on how strong she is and how thin she is. I wouldn't want to stress her out with a force feed if she's got good strength. Not being there to see how she is - it's hard to really advise.

I've not had one separate from the yolk before absorbing it all, so I haven't had to make a decision on what to do. I would think getting a meal into her soon is going to be important.

Hopefully someone will see this who has had a similar experience and what they did to get some protein into their kiddo.

I agree with Robin. Without seeing the snake its hard to really say. Dave Green on here has a snake that jsut hatched that seemed to be weak at first an has been getting better daily. Maybe shoot him a pm an see if he can lead you in the right direction. Keep a close eye on he\she. Shes going to prob be on the weak side an need a meal asap but you dont want to put anymore stress on it.
