Im worried that my new hatchling is stuck int he shell she has broken the shell but that membrane appears stuck on her. One spot its stuck is her eye lid. I dabbed it with a we qtip, what would you guys do?
 
You do not have to be afraid of using lots of water.. just do not get any water into the mouth.. I have often dunked the stuck parts into warm water and let it soak and then gently wipe the membrane off with a wet paper towel or the like..
