Posted by: thmpr134 at Sat Aug 19 12:48:19 2006 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by thmpr134 ] This happens from time to time in egg-laying species. For some reason they hatch prematurely prior to complete development. One of the theories I have read and believe to be true is that the underdeveloped snakes hatch due to the hormone trigger released when other snakes in the clutch begin hatching. As for what to do, there isn't much you can do. I'd recommend keeping the baby on a little more humid substrate than normal to prevent it drying out too soon. It may develop on its own and the snake may live, but I wouldn't count on it. Good luck. [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Hide Replies ]
