Yesterday the second egg of my 4th clutched but i think it was premature because it had its yolk sac attached to it and the yolk sac was about the size of a q-tip head , so I was wondering will the little guy die as a result of this yolk sac falling off it looks healthy but is very tiny.anyone else have these experiences.

It could absorb it still or it could end up falling off. Either way it could still make it. If you leave it in a small area (i.e. like a deli cup) that is moist there will be a better chance of it absorbing it and less chance of it falling off or getting pulled off.

iam pretty sure that it will just fall off cause i read a while ago the leopard gecko manual and i think its said when baby has yolk on it when it has hatched it will fall off in like a couple days and my bro in law xavier springer i think had a baby born with yolk attached and it fell off

Ive had several hatch with a little to a lot of the sak attached, I just put them on damp paper towels and change them often and they have all done well.

I've seen snakes absorb yolk after hatching. Don't give up on it.
