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.

Minor birth defect: eye
I hatched out a baby this morning with one slightly protruding eye. The other eye looks normal and the eye seems to be protruding at the bottom. She does have eyelids and seems to be able to close both eyes. She isn't licking her eyes and so far is doing all the things I would expect from a 12 hour old hatchling. I know a picture would be helpful and I hope to post one within the week, but can't get to it right now. I did read some of the other posts about eye defects. My plan at the moment is to proceed as usual. If I feel that she is in pain or can't close her eye I'll have her euthanized. Otherwise I would give her away (as opposed to selling her) to someone who understands that they can't breed her. Does this make sense? I know in many other cases that have been reported on the forum there's a question about temperature fluctuations. I am using a hovobator, the same one I used last season under the same conditions. I hatched 13 babies last season and 7 other babies so far this season with no defects so I'm assuming that this is just an unlucky hatchling. Any thoughts or ideas would be welcome.

I suspect it's just a normal, random defect.

As Scott said, it happens from time to time. As long as you won't be breeding her (and you make sure whoever gets her doesn't breed her), there's no reason she can't live a full, happy life.

She is Tremper albino x hypo tang. It's too early to tell how she'll turn out, but her yellow of the moment is pretty bright. It was a 1-egg clutch.
