Ok here is what I have deducted so far.... The umbilical cord/egg yolk got wrapped around the tail (you can see the cord which I cut before photographing) Before it was all one piece. I cut the cord and cut the piece wrapped around the tail just above the vent. His hemipenes also just happen to be prolapsed...? At first I thought pressure had forced out the hemipenes, but the area in question was above the vent... So basically, his stomach is still in tact but he was robbed of vital nutrients. I have him in a seperate container on wet paper towels with r.o. water. Anything else I can do or should they go back in on their own...? Anyone else have ideas of what could have happened or did I guess right? This ever happen to anyone else?

He is smaller than the rest and I am waiting for the dried cord to fall of. But from where he was he is in much better shape! Thanks for the reply though! I have another problem if you look above...
