    Re: Something worrying with one of my hatchlings

    Big Gunns would like to say he knows exactly what it is, but he can't(very rare). The only thing to do is double check all your temps and keep an eye on it. A Vet visit might be a leeetle much at this point.

    It does look like undigested yolk like someone said....it probably is since it hasn't eaten anything else. It could have actually spit this up. There's not really much you can do but keep an eye on it. Again...double check your temps just to be sure, since you're having a few animals that are taking a while to shed.

    Re: Something worrying with one of my hatchlings

    Looks like yolk to me as well--are you sure this baby didn't have an umbilicus still partially attached? Perhaps it came from that.
    Digested yolk is often yellowish too, and the first defecation can look a bit funny, just as with any infant.
    In any case, I wouldn't worry about it unless the snake shows some other sign of ill health, fails to feed, etc. It looks healthy enough in the photo (and feisty).
