Hello, this is my first clutch and I had some fantastic and not so fantastic odds. Let's start with the not so fantastic, my 1500g 5 year old BP laid 1 good egg and 3 slugs. I'm not super disappointed since I have another female who is almost of weight. The good odds were that she is a blue eyed leucistic which is the morph I wanted! I cut day 55 because I was worried, I made sure to candle and avoid all major veins. No bleeding, yay!
She crawled out of the egg today (Day 62) and is still attached to the umbilical cord, it appears as though there is not too much yolk left in the egg as far as I can see... but she is quite small! I'm not sure if she is normal weight because I have not weighed her yet, but she looks small compared to pictures I've seen of other hatchlings. I did incubate at lower temps (87-88 degrees F)
What should I do in this situation? I thought maybe I should just leave her for a few days but I saw something about putting her in a deli cup with a moist paper towel?
