hatchling care

[kevk]

i have 4 sets of eggs in my eastern pen.i blocked the adults out of that part of the pen and covered the eggs with wire mesh bowls to protect them.if and when they hatch what should i do with them.will they come out of the ground with a yolk sac or will it dissolve first?any and all advice is appreciated.thanks.

They could still have some yolk, you won't know until the hatch. I really wouldn't worry about it though. If there is still some egg/yolk it will eventually fall off.

When they do hatch you may want to either make a smaller enclosure for them or bring them inside and set up a tank.
