Hi!

One of my eggs hatched today...

I didn't have an incubator, so I've had the eggs in a box with moist moss, on the bathroom floor. Bathroomfloor set on "girltemp". So I acually didn't think the eggs were going to hatch! Today is day 60.


Here is her setup with UTH:

And some (unclear) pics of her:

Does she look healthy?
Anything wrong about the setup?



I'm sooo scared, but also sooo happy and super exited!

She seems fine, very skittish, and has already checked out the whole tank.
But I'm worried about the yolk sac.

"Most hatchlings will have absorbed their external yolk sac when they hatch. Their bellies, though, are still full of yolk which sustains them until they are ready to eat. Some hatchlings are born with the yolk sac or the umbilical cord still attached. These should be placed in a clean and quiet environment where they will either absorb or discard the yolk sac and umbilical cord"

I would take out the moss and just use moist shredded paper towels. that way there's no risk for infection or irritation.

Thanks!

The moss was in the eggbox, I have placed her with the other hatchling now. Don't know if that is good enough?
