Baby dragon hasn't absorbed yolk

[washy]

I have a hatchling that came out a couple hours ago and still has a huge amount of yolk outside his body. Right now he's still inside the incubator. Is there anything I can do for it?

I have one as well, and mine isn't doing so well after 2 days- still hasn't absorbed it.
Everything I could find says to put him in a little tub with damp paper towel under him to help keep it moist, and to keep him in the incubator until he absorbs it. I guess it can take up to 2 days or so for some of them to absorb it. That's all I've been able to find, so hopefully somebody else will pipe in with more help.

Hello,

Placing him a warm plastic bin with a moist paper towel is about all you can do right now.
Some seem to take a little longer than others to absorb their sacs. Hopefully before long, he will have it all absorbed.
Does he seem to be doing alright, otherwise?

So far its moved around quite a bit in the incubator and absorbed most of the yolk. Seems like its gonna make it, thanks for the response.

Hello,

That is good news he seems to be absorbing his yolk! I hope he is doing well. Let us know how he fares.
