so my murphey patternless JUST hatched today. its a big and fully formed healthy baby, except it had a big of sac on its belly. i knew to immediately move it to a tiny damp container and a half hour later saw that the sac fell off. and now there is a slimey yellowgreen pale gunk coming out. it was a good bit, but its since stopped.

what the heck was that? was that yolk?
did i do the correct thing?
will it be okay?

it still seems fine, fattish, healthy. but did it just loose nourishment?? will it recover from this happeneing?

If the opening where the sac was connected has closed, then you're probably fine. I would imagine that what you were seeing was just some yolk. If there's still an opening in the belly and you can see the intestines, there's probably nothing you can do to save it (I've tried twice with not success).
