I used to experience this when I rushed them out of their eggs... now that I don't do that any more, It hasn't happened again.

Do you mean "rushed" by cutting/cutting early? I did cut these at day 52...but this hatchling was the last out...on like day 65...so she didn't seem rushed. I have heard before that cutting early makes them stay in the eggs longer. I'm not sure if that's true, but it seemed to be the case with this one!

Also, she/he is looking much better today. It is clearly healing up. I think that maybe it was bleeding a little and then got kinda gunked up..and that's why it looked so big...it was like a scab.
