I have a feeling the rest of mine will end up dying as the humidity was at 80 which is way to high

Due date?

This is a long shot, but is it possible to push it in?

I think I should have tried that when I first saw the intestines starting to come out. Now they are bigger and red. I'm sure the damage is done. Plus I don't want it to suffer. Next time I should try to tie it off first then cut it from the legs and hope for the best. It's always sad but this was blue cream color and I'm really trying to get more of this color. I also lost 2 more eggs to bad positioning in the egg. Head between the feet. Hoping at least another 2-3 hatch.

Hahaha! One my customers for hatching eggs, asked if I would sell hatching eggs... he confirmed his interest last week... now he us incommunicado!... Oh well, they will grow, and hopefully I will sell them on Craigslist before I take them to the auction... I love the little buggers!

I just pulled out 10 fluffy dry babies. So, cute, but no photos yet - they don't want to come out from under the heat plate.

Had one that has been starting to zip for about an hour and was getting quiet. I chipped away quite a bit of it's zip line, and moistened the membrane. That's the most I'll do to help. There was 1 more pipped, and I think 2 more no activity, and they were the 2 that I thought looked a bit wonky when I locked down. I didn't think to take out any shells, so there might be a couple more that I didn't see. I forget how many actually made it into lockdown.



I will start to get photos once they venture out from under the heat plate.

For the babies with insides exposed, I have never had one survive. I think it's better to cull it than it is to let it suffer. Sorry!!!!
