Not looking good.. Deformed hatchlings

[Galaxygirl]

Quote from Corey Woods: "I've had it happen here the odd time with clutches. Usually it's not just 1 in the clutch it's almost all of them. I've bred the same pairing year after year to see if it's genetic and it's not genetic. It just happens the odd time.

Most babies won't eat on their own. The best option, for multiple reasons, is to put them down."

Update?

Thought I'd share my favorite hatchling of the bunch. Super Pastel Lesser?? Are those paradox markings on its lower half?

Babies just shed yesterday.

Acting normal despite deformities?

Acting normal despite deformities?

So far they don't move around much. They've only been in their separate tubs for a day so maybe they're just adjusting. We haven't observed them drinking. They don't appear to have tongues. We put a live hopper mouse in each of their tubs and they were not interested/frightened by it. We don't have high hopes but will try one more feeding this week. We're not sure if they can even smell the prey.

Best wishes! Know you're doing the best you can!
