Hi,

For the second time I have just found wierd little balls of what looks like goo in the tub of one of the last batch of hatchlings.



I have checked the hatchling over and can't see anything even remotely odd in her mouth around her vent or belly button.

The top one was more like a small hard seed and the rest kind of have the texture of frog eggs - the biggest one is around two millimeters in diameter.

The first time I found them I cleaned out the tub completely but I can't exactly bleach the hatchling.

She hatched on the 8th of November and hasn't shed yet so is still being kept in a tub with damp paper towels as a substrate.

I have a few who haven't shed - I don't know why but it seems to be an issue for me this year.

But I have checked every tub and none of the rest have had any of these little balls of stuff.

Anyone know what it is?



I have no idea why her nose looks like that in the photo - it looks perfectly normal in real life.
