Problem with egg and yolk

[Raverthug]

So 5 of my 6 babies have come out of the egg. there is 1 left in the egg. Im pretty sure its the egg that deflated on me due to humidity problems. I was looking at him today while I pulled out the babies that had left the egg and noticed that he is moving but it looks like all of his yolk is still there. Should I worry. I tried to take a pic but my phone didnt like em so Ill take more pics later and post em up.

Make sure the there is not an issue such as twisted umbilicus preventing the yolk from being absorbed.

And keep in mind that sometimes some hatchling take a little longer then their sibling I had some coming out of their egg 5 days apart.

I can see a twisted imbilicus but I also dont see know what to look for

Also there are a handful of threads on here on what to do. You're little guy looks a little dried out you may want to moisten him a little also. Hope everything works out for you.

I agree--much too dry. He's going to need a little water, a little TLC, and a lot of humidity to increase his chances of survival.

Ok so I sprayed him down moisten him, Mover him into a tub that holds humidity better (that just came in today or they would have been in it long ago) I moved him around some but he doesnt seem to have a twisted umbilicus but I did see what looked like some damage to it. Im gonna cut it tomorrow.

I'd just fill that egg with tepid (not quite warm) distiller water. It's still too dry. It can't absorb the yolk with it so dry. Next time don't cut the eggs so much. Wait til the first pip and then cut a half moon shaped flap so you can check the welfare of the babies but you can close it again. Cutting the entire top off can create this problem.

I didnt cut this much until tonight. Before tonight it was just a 1 inch V. I only cut this to see if there was a problem with the umbilicus

It is very important to get that egg hydrated asap. Misting wont help, you need to add water to the egg. If he stays that dry much longer, you have very little chance of saving him.

Ok so I tied off the umbilicus and snipped it off. We shall see what happens. He is now sitting in a tub with a little bit of standing water to help hydrate him. After talking to a larger breeder I trust they said it looked like a hard yolk.
