Deformed baby...so sad.

Hey All,

Last night when we were looking at the first hatchling, I noticed a smell coming out of the other egg. The one that began to hatch funny. We decided to open it and see what was happening. Poor baby.

This was the egg that developed a crack in it two months into development. We did cut back on the humidity. The crack shrank and it didn't look like the inner membrane was ruptured. I guess it still caused developmental problems. The baby was stillborn. Has anyone seen this before?

PS

Damn shame too, the little bugger had alot of color!

This one seems to be normal so far. Sorry about the blurred pics, I didn't want to disturb him too much.

Another egg is pipping from the second clutch. 140 days!
