This pastel did not come out of its egg 2 days after the rest. I thought there might be a problem so I removed it. I found it had a twisted umbilical. It had not absorbed any of its yolk sac. It was very weak and could not support its own head. I untwisted the yolk sac and placed it in a small bowl with damp paper towel and placed it back in the incubator.

Before


Checking back several times the snake had begun absorbing it's yolk. By the next morning it had absorbed more than half and appears to be doing well.

After


Anyone ever have this experience? If so, I would like to know how it turned out.

Thanks
