Urgent Help Needed. Travis where are you!?

[adamsky27]

I finally hit what I was looking for. A Paternless, Mack Snow, Rainwater Albino, Eclipse (pretty sure on the mack snow part). There is a problem though. This guy had a hard time getting out of the egg, and is dragging the yolk sack around with it. The cord is wrapped around its legs. I tried to get the best pic I could. What can I do? Will it be OK? I have it on some damp paper towel in its own tub. I hatched out an identical sibling today, minus the visual eclipse gene. What do you guys think?


If you look close enough you can see the clear cord wrapped above and around its hind legs.

Has it absorbed all of it's yolk?
If so, just tie off the umbilical cord with some dental floss and cut away the sac.

[adamsky27]

It has not absorbed it at all. It's all still there, the gecko is dragging it around.

Do you think he's absorbing it?

You might just have to tie it off and feed him immediately to compensate for the lack of yolk. Or confine him in a space where he can't walk around and hope he absorbs it soon.
