Ok, my second hatchling came out today. His clutchmate came out 5 days ago. I have a couple questions I would like to ask. Can I put them together right away? Can I leave him in the incubation chamber until he sheds?
And now to the HELP part. The first egg that hatched was completly empty inside. The second one has some yolk left in the egg. Is this bad? Did the yold sack rip off when he was leaving the egg? If the yolk sack did get ripped off does that mean he will die? I know I am asking lots of questions but this is my first clutch of eggs ever. Not trying to be annoying, I just worry about everything. Thx for any help/

It is okay if the yolk sac came off, means he has to eat to survive now.

I don't know exactly what a incubation chamberr is.though.

Good luck!

One of the key things to do with pictus is to feed them and keep them moist........they usually eat within the first to second day and I would keep the paper towel spritzed quite often for the first week or two. They can be kept together, especially if hatched out within a few days of one another. Start off with pinhead or a little bit bigger crickets, and you will see that they love to eat and eat often!
Good luck with your new additions.
