My first clutch of eggs hatched, but I have a bit of bad news....one of the babies is deformed, anybody have experience with one-eyed neonates? I will post pictures later. They are Rh.spectrum.
Eggs Hatched, bad news...

Well its only a clutch of two, she has other eggs incubated but she layed two at a time. They look like they have hatchling edema...I guess since the mother was a bit beat up they arent the healthiest babies...
Which leads me to another question: does hatchling edema just go away or what?

I figured you were just ruling it out.

i dont know much about the growth inside the egg, but perhaps it was just missing something, or a defficiency of something in that particular egg that just never developed the other eye

Kent has something with the incubation temperatures, their mustve been some kind of inconsistency. I just find it ironic that even though I checked the temps daily, somehow something happened.

Sorry to hear that, hopefully he'll be just fine!
With these kind of things it's usually either an incubation/temperature issue, or just plain ol' genetic flaw. The eyes form nearly as one of the first things, right after the embryo goes from a ball of cells to something that starts taking on a vague shape. We're talking days here, not weeks. So if there was a temp thing, it was super early on.
