"my first egg was laid about two months ago. it was starting to get HUGE but too huge. on one side it had a transparent look and when russ and i candled it we saw a smallish black blob and LARGE yellow area. so i made the decision to cut the egg.
i slit the egg at first a quick burst of liquid but then green i figured the baby was dead. so i began to open the egg. there was a HUGE amount of yolk and then i come across a fully formed snow baby! i thought for sure it had drowned because of the massive amounts of fluid and yolk stuff in the egg. i began to remove the egg matter around the baby and i gently uncurled him and he started to move. he was alive!
right now he is in a container kept warm. he is breathing and moving but not walking yet. he still has some yolk attached.
he is weak but i do think he will be fine. i also believe if he had been left in the egg he would have died.
i was inspecting the egg after i put him away and it looks as though the huge excess of yolk and stuff was most probably a twin that did not develop. i have a couple of videos i will post in the video section. these were taken right after i got the last of the membrane off him.
i will keep you guys updated on him/her"
these could make some people kinda squeamish so view at your own risk
please no negative comments.

* note * those were not just a stimuli reaction to me touching the gecko. he/she was actually trying to lift itself up and walk (after i took the video)
