What is this?

[Roxotics]

Here's baby number 4 for me this season. Just hatched a couple hours ago. A pretty little RAPTOR.

My question is: what is that thing attached to her stomach? I've looked around and found that it's either the yolk sack, or her insides. There doesn't appear to be a hole in her tummy, it's just attached be a little tube to her stomach. What's your opinion?

I put her on damp paper towel. She seems like she's in good shape. Walks around, doesn't appear to be weak or anything. Will she be okay? Will it just fall off on it's own? I would appreciate the help. Thanks.

Yolk sac

It's her umbilical cord. Totally normal. It will most likely be gone by tommorow morning, and will fall off on its own. The first baby I ever hatched had one too and I think I nearly wet my pants because I thought it was dying...lol.

Very pretty, beautiful example of a true raptor.

Thank you for the help. It's my first time hatching babies so I wanted to be sure.

And thanks Maia, I think she's pretty nice too

You want to let that little gecko absorb the yolk sack! It's very important to a hatching

it is the umbilical cord it will fall of in the next few days
