Need help ASAP! Hatchling came out with most of yolk still out...

Thanks for more advice, I'll gome home for my lunch break and move it to a deli cup.

Thanks for the compliment. When I snipped the egg and saw white I was beyond thrilled!! But now this has happened and it has me worried. HOpefully you're right and all will be OK with him/her.

Just leave him be, don't move him but keep him warm and moist. He looks like he is a good size. Just might need food sooner than others that got all their yoke.

Also don't worry if the yoke starts do dry up and he doesn't get all of it. This will happen, there is a lot outside him, and in my experience it will start drying up in about a day or two.

oh, deli cup, good idea.

Excellent advice. This is what I do first when this happens for me to prevent the snake from injuring itself.

If it is apparent that the cord is twisted, untwist.. if it is still not absorbing at all after 12-24 hours, tie it off and cut the yoke away. At that point you need to have it in a 1/8-1/4" of water so it can hydrate.

Yep I had to do it this year.. Only reason why I know it works..Not the cutting part just the untwisting and all..

It was like trying to untie an oyster.

I have had one hatch like that before. I gave it a day to see if it would absorb the yolk. After a day there was not much change so I tied the cord off and clipped it below. Ended up doing fine and growing well. Good luck with yours.

Good news. I came home at lunch to move him to a deli cup, and probably ~80% of the yolk had been absorbed. Just a pinky mouse sized piece hanging out.

He's still laying on its side in a funky way, but I'm hoping that's maybe because it doesn't want to be on its belly with the yolk still hanging out?
