I also vote on taking it to the vet to have it euthanized, but I am still researching on how to humanely cull a hatchling. I froze the one that didn't make it from last season, but he was so near death, it was more humane to put him in the freezer right then than take the time to set up an appointment at the vet and drive over there to have it done. He was just too far gone. Its good thought that you are researching this BEFORE breeding. I didn't and wasn't prepared for having to cull that little hatchling. A lot of people think breeding is "Oh look at the pretty albino that just hatched out!" but there are the dark moments when you realize you have to end a life for the good of the animal.Its sad but its part of breeding. Any hatchlings this season that need to be euthanized are going to the vet.
