On September 25th 2 clutched of Sambava babies started to hatch. As of Currently I have 18 out of the egg and 3 eggs piped. I have 24 eggs left in the oldest clutch and 5 in the newest. I have had 14 hatch from the newest clutch. About 3 months ago some of the eggs went bad in the newest clutch. Well yesterday one of the eggs that has started sweating a while ago started looking funny, so I carefully cut it open. Inside was a fully developed dead baby, with its tounge sticking out, its eyes buldging and its head was black. (sorry for the gory description). But has anyone experienced this before? Do I just leave this death to nature and that it wasn't strong enough to hatch, so it wouldn't be suited for life outside of the egg? I just feel bad, like I did something wrong. I thought all my babies would be hatched by now, but they have been hatching at a rate of 1-2 a day...I thought they all hatched around the same time...I guess not.
But on a very happy note, all of the 18 that have hatched are doing wonderful. 1 has already shed. They are eating a ton, pooping a ton, and drinking a ton...everything I had wished for ....and when I say poop a ton...that isn't exagerating...I didn't realize how much more "regular" they are than adults.... But Ok I know this post is jumbled, along with all of my others, but I would love feedback from anyone that takes the time to read through this Thanks!
