    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

i have a hatchling that has hatch at least 24 hours before the rest of the clutch, the other eggs have not hatched yet. but this one hatchling has hatched at least 24 hours ago. it still has a sizable yoke sack left since it hatch. it is about the size of it's head. i have not had any hatchlings retain any sort of yoke sack from hatching before. i know it takes some time for the yoke sack to be absorbed but so far it has not been absorbed. i am worried about the hatchling.

please let me know what is going on at the very least.

thank you very much!!
 
I have this happen pretty often. I've seen babies that take several days for it to fall off. But I always leave my babies in the incubator for at least 48 hours after they have come out of the egg to allow them time to adjust and let that sac fall off.

Pictures?

Good luck!
 
Ok i found the cord for my camera, here are the pics. the first one is taken about 24 hours after hatching, the day i started this thread, and the last 2 are from about 8 hours ago today.

So about five days now huh? Well, I have had to "help" some babies in the past. But that is a very dangerous and risky move. Luckily, I have never had a baby die from me lending a helping hand. But hen I do, I only apply slight resistance opposite the baby and sac. Otherwise, you risk pulling its innards with it. Which needless to say is bad for their health. lol (obvious understatement)

But,you could try soaking them in luke warm water for 10-15 min to see if that would help. Otherwise, I have heard of some people removing it themselves surgically. But that is something I have never done. Nor have had the need to.

Call me on my cell if you need to. I'm here to help. 1-909-533-9751 Zack

Good luck!
