Hi PHladye, Nope definately not the umbilicus, RIGHT out of the cloaca. weird though. I wonder if it is due to over handling. I told the person to handle the animal minimally until it is at least a couple of months old and evidently she is handling it for hours at a time. I believe it was born in mid june....Personally I do not touch neonates except to clean cages.JUST LEAVE EM ALONE is my motto......Life is scary enough without some giant wanting to cuddle with you........Lee
