Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

To cull or let it be ?
Today 8 hatchlings were born after 66 days. All were perfect except this one. It came out of the egg by itself, was breathing and showed no sign of pain. I wanted to put it into a plastic Container with moist paper and put it back into the incubation machine. But i asked in a german Forum on Facebook. Of course they told me i should cull it, how can i post it instead of culling it. etc., etc. So i culled it.
Might it had a Chance ? Might it´s belly had become closed ?

I'm a snake guy, not a lizard guy, so I'm having a hard time telling if that is yolk sack or intestine? Snake stomachs will stay open like that sometimes and they tend to close just fine, IF it is yolk. IF that is intestine then = cull.
Again, I'm not a lizard guy.

That is viscera, not yolk sack. Many animals are born with this deformity, and if the hole is smaller (much smaller) it can be closed and the animal can live. I had a corn snake with a much smaller hole, which I was advised to close with super glue, and the animal lived and was even able to successfully breed later in life. However, I think the deformity was much too severe with your animal, and it would not have survived. I think you did the right thing by culling it. Even if you hadn't, it's unlikely the animal would have lived more than a few days.

I certainly would have culled, I think you did the right thing. It might not have appeared to be in pain, but really how could you tell? It's a very large opening and I can't see how it could have closed without surgery.

This occurs in humans as well. Gastroschises or omphaloceole depending on whether the viscera are enclosed in a membrane or not. Interesting today see something similar happens in reptiles as well.
