Question regarding twisted umbilical cord

[Stewart_Reptiles]

Its wrapped completely around his body just like yours was (I believe it was your post). Its day 58 and he hasnt poked his head out yet (all the rest have), he is stilll moving and alive though. Should I still remove him if he is is not breathing air yet or will this kill him? Also should I try to remove him, his yolk, and as many viens as I can or just him and the yolk. I feel like if I go pulling him out I'm gonna break a bunch of Viens? should it be a small deli cup with a moist paper towel or a small deli cup with a tiny bit of distilled water in the bottom? Thanks for the help I appreciate it, Aaron

At 58 days he is viable however depending how how bad it is tangled he is probably getting weaker by the hour.

Personally I would pull him out and try to untangle him without cutting if this is possible and if not I would follow the instruction on the thread that is linked above (and yes it's one of my snake's story)

I prefer to put them on damp paper towel but you can place him in a deli cup with some distilled water as well of course that is if the yolk sac remains attached, if it doesn't moist paper towel until he shed is all that is required.

Keep in mind that it's always a gamble and that not all hatchlings with this issue make it, try your best and good luck.
