    20g hatchling
    So this 20 gram girl just pipped out of a half boob egg. I cut it open and found that all of the yolk was rotting and most of it had the consistency of rubber. Her body was encased inside of this hardened nastiness and we had to pry her out of it and tie off the umbilical.

    This is the clutch. She came out of the horizontal boob. Her sibling in the other boob is only 29 grams but looks a little better. They're both getting assist fed tomorrow.

    How tiny! Kudos to saving her from that gunk, I hope she pulls through just fine for you.

    Definitely monitor the weight really closely and make preparations for a possible assist feed scenario.

    Barring internal problems she can totally make it though. :gj:

    Good looking snake hopefully they both strive and grow up healthy. What do you use to tie the cord? I heard dental floss but your tie is black?
