Thanks for sharing that with us Heather. I had an Albino that hatched just like that 2 years ago. I say hatched, but it only got half way out of the egg before it expired. It is heartbreaking to say the least, but definitely something that breeders need to be prepared to see.

p.s. I am not sure that this is related to wet substrate, as in my Albino clutch, there was 8 eggs. 1 went bad, the Albino was deformed, and the remaining 6 eggs hatched out fine with no problems. I would think if the wet substrate was the issue, the survivor would have had problems too. Did you try adding some dry substrate to the box during incubation to absorb some of the excess water?
