drowning neonates

One more for the night.

My first living birth was very small and barely moved; it seemed very unstable and the mother was ignoring it, but I let it go, and found it dead in the water dish (filled literally 2mm - I use large shallow trays with 1cm high rims to prevent any chance of the babies drowning) the next day.
I am sure this juvenile was abnormal since it was so small and mildly deformed, was not eating or even moving and had its eyes closed the whole time I was wondering if other skink breeders just mist when a neonate is present, or not worry about bowls?

No, do not remove the waterbowl as Corucia love to soak periodically & this also helps with humidity. Your 'pool' does not sound dangerous or too deep so obviously by your description the baby was not viable. Keep up with the misting as well. Corucia don't often drink standing water but prefer 'raindrops' from enclosure walls &/or foilage from plants.

Hope you have better luck pretty soon,

Sherri
