I just hatched my first two eggs one on the 24th and the other on the 25th. When i woke up today i found the younger one dead. After he hatched he had a red/brown scab like thing on his belly and his head was shaped kinda weird. Anyone know what that was on his belly? It was like a sore spot/scab with red around it.

I've been keeping them in a small tank with a moist paper towel, a lid of vitamins, a very shallow lid of water, and a place to hide. I added very tiny crickets on the 25th.

the one thats about 12 hours older seems to be doing fine, i think he ate because he looks a bit fatter.

Hatchlings shouldn't be fed until after their 1st shed. Hopefully your other hatchling will continue to well.

1.3.3 normals

0.3.1 albinos
0.1.0 Giant het for albino
1.6.1 Tangerines
0.1.0 patternless
0.0.1 Very dark circleback
0.0.1 stripe

yeah, don't they feed of a yoke sack or something?? i heard those could be scraped off on paper towels so put the crickets in with them. i guess it was just a birth defect.
