Help with hatchling

[little_dragon_]

I just watched one of my babies hatch but it doesn't look to good. The yok sac is still attached to it and it's not really moving around much plus its eyes are still closed. It was incubated for female at almost 60 days. I have always just my babies already hatched and moving around. Is what I'm experiencing normal for when they first crawl out of the egg?.

okay it's moving around but the yok sac is still attached

Just put it into a damp warm cage and leave it alone. Once it is finished absorbing the yolk the sac will fall off.
Good luck,
Trevor

Thanks for the tip. She looks alright now :)

Okay now get this..The Father is a Tremper Tangerine Albino and its father was the same. The Mother is a Het Albino and its mother and father where Albinos...The Baby Looks To be a Jungle.

I think that would mean that the mom would be het for a different strain of albino. Rainwater or bell. If your positive that she was sold as het for tremper check to make sure when you bought her she wasn't advertised as like 66% possible het for tremper

I bought her from tarzet last year at the Toronto show. The container even says het for Tremper Albino. The clutch mate just hatched and he's a normal. I would think that a tremper albino het and a tremper tangerine albino would at least produce a couple albinos, I am confused. The incubated Male is at Day 37 at 88 degree's maybe he'll be albino when he hatches.

A Tremper albino crossed with a het Tremper albino gives you 50% Normal het. Albino(Tremper) and 50% Albino(Tremper). Or more exact, each egg has a 50% chance of being a homo albino or het albino.

You said about the mother
The Mother is a Het Albino and its mother and father where Albinos...

If BOTH parents are full albinos and she's only a het, something went wrong there. If both parents are the same strain (Tremper), then she should have been albino too. If one parent is a different albino (say Rainwater) then she could have been a het, but a double het for Rainwater and Tremper. Assuming your 'het albino' is this double het, if mated with a homo Tremper, you can get

25% Normal het. Albino(Tremper)

25% Normal het. Albino(Tremper) het. Albino(Rainwater)

25% Albino(Tremper)

25% Albino(Tremper) het. Albino(Rainwater)

Still though, it doesn't explain how the mother could be only het if both parents are albinos. Whatever happened there, possibly mixup in ID, you've got some mystery gene from the mother working on your hatchlings. You can get albinos eventually if both your breeders have the same albino genes, but that mystery gene is really messing up your results.

Same thing happened tome. In an earlier post I mentioned that I got two normal hatchlings from a male jungle tremp albino and a female tremp albino. Several people, myself included agree that both are definately trempers, no doubt. Perhaps your albinos, and maybe mine are in fact trempers, but het rainwater. That would explain the "normal' babies and the fact that the adults are albino. Keep the babies and breed them out to rainwaters next year to try an prove their genes:D
