Hi everyone,
I’m really concerned about my Sulcata hatchlings health!
I’ve incubated some eggs from my adult female sulcata. I have had two successful babies and one is unfortunately not the same.
The baby was struggling to get out of the shell, with only its head being out. So with the advice on here i slowly helped it out.
It’s yolk also slightly erupted, and I also did exactly what was said on here.
All in all the baby seems perfectly okay, very active!
But the thing that concerns me is its shell
as you can see from the photos, the back of the shell looks like there is a piece missing, that hasn’t developed. And the shape of the shell just doesn’t look right.
Throughout the incubation period the eggs had plenty of humidity, and my other two babies have lovely shells.
Can anyone shed some light on this and will this hatchling grow with a better shell over time.
Thank you!

unfortunately he/she has developed like this in the shell. But It will definitely have the best life however long it may last! Thank you for your reply
