That looks like the yolk sac. Derek (Dr. Del) pointed out that it looks like the the snake might have the umbilicus wrapped around it. Is that hatchling moving around okay and does it look smaller than the others? You may need to untangle it if it is.

He is a little smaller then the rest...How do I know if it is tangled, and how do I untangle it?

Yikes, hopefully someone with experience will chime in as I have never needed to do it. I believe you will need to remove the snake from the egg to untangle it and place it and the yolk sac on a wet paper towel (in a rack cage) until it can absorb the rest.

Hmmm...Sounds interesting lol

Had to be on the first clutch I ever hatched right ?? lol

Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it! Hopefully someone will chime in later on...

Yeah it sucks...It happens though.

The rest are just hanging out in there egg, and seem fine.

Someone pointed out my one might be wrapped up in its umbilical, so I might have to do something about that. But otherwise couldn't be happier, good odds, and only one didn't make it so I'm happy with my results. Just hoping for some pastel females so I can make some supers in the years to come!

im antsy about mine i cant wait ugh it hasnt even been 30 days and im just dying to see em lol ive never really been into morphs until here lol wow is all i can say

The one definitely looks to be wrapped in it's umbilical. You may have to try to remove that snake and untangle if it does not start absorbing some of that yolk.
I think you may have been a little too aggressive on the cutting. You really don't need to totally cut a big piece off like that. Just a slit is the best way to go. Good luck.
