I took Rubii to a reptile store in town and she was sexed as male, so Rubii is now Rubiix.

The man in the store also found several more kinks in him, mostly near his vent and a little ways up from his tail. Even his tail is kinked. He said he can feel yolk in his belly so assist feeding can wait for now. He wants me to wait till Rubiix has shed before attempting another assist feed. I feel so horrible right now. I was with this little baby on the day of his laying. I paced in front of his incubator all the time, and watched as his siblings died in the egg. His other clutch mate died at full term, a deformed, kinked little baby. Now he's the only surviving baby and I might have to put him down. I've grown so attached to this little ball of scales.
