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

So I cut all these eggs on day 55. I came home from work today to see the smallest was completely out of the egg but it appears that he is still attached to the egg by the cord. I dont know if I should move him and the egg into a clean tub, or just leave him be in the incubator? Any suggestions?

Also on another note, does this look like a black pastel??

What I would recommend is to gently pick him up and transfer him and the egg in a deli cup with moist paper towel and place him back in the incubator.

Doing so will limit his movement and give him time to absorbed the rest of his yolk.

The pic is rather dark but it looks like a black pastel to me.

you wouldn't try to get him back in the egg would you? Also I dont have any deli cups so ill use a piece of cardboard in a shoebox tub to section him off in a small part of the tub so he cant move much.

This..

Just leave him alone. He is still absorbing his yoke. My blk pastel baby is perfectly fine now after doing the same thing this year. By the time everyone else came out she was down to just an inch long piece and even that was absorbed in a day or so.

This x2...............
also it looks like a blackpastel to me

well I picked it up and placed it in a tub that I blocked off 75% of so now it cant move around a lot. I will check back on him later tonight and see how its doing.

Kind of weird though, it really looks like a black pastel to me, but looks completely different from the other black pastel I hatched. Two different moms but wow the difference. The other girl I hatched has crazy pattern squiggles and is dark black and bright orange.

This one almost looks like a black pastel ghost. Just very dark all around and not much orange.

You have some great advice above. He will soak up his yolk on his own, within a couple days he will be perfectly fine.

Also yes that sure looks blk pastel to me! :gj:

Definately looks black pastel but just to compare this was the other Black Pastel I just hatched just weird how different that pattern and color is. I will for sure get a picture of them together once this black pastel is finished.

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.

I'm confused. Wat do you mean by "egg sack?"

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.
