Please help asap. Baby hatchling in egg burst egg intact yolk (full term)

[Mumofmanyrescues]

So I have had my first clutch hatching out . This one egg was the first one to sweat and show stress marks but wasn’t hatching and no movement. I picked up gently and stroked over the bit with stress marks with my nails gently to see if any movement. The egg got a tiny hole in and fluid went everywhere . I started to panic as I didn’t want the baby to drown (they are 65 days old). I just peeled the shell back over his mouth and nose so he could breathe, why carefully not popping the yolk. Now the baby does look more petite than the others and his yolk goes all round his tummy, up his back and side of his head . This clears up why I thought it was twins about 4 weeks ago as looked like two heads . This was another reason I was worried . So he did odd little breaths now and again even though I thought he was dead at first. So I kept him in his shell and put on a damp paper towel and in his own tub in the incubator. I check on his
Today and took a while to show movement a little twitch here and there. However half hour I checked and no movement at all . I put odd droplet of water on the yolk above his head as it was drying around his head and sticking. I put him back on a fresh towel and his yolk has not burst . I’m so upset thinking he’s dead. So I need to keep the yolk moist so it doesn’t dry up ? Can they look like they are not breathing at all?

It's always best to leave any egg alone, they will either make it or they won't but I can understand the urge to try to " help ". You'll know in a day or two if it's dead because it will eventually smell. You might not see as it tries to come out of the egg but you'll know if it's trying by seeing if it's in the exact same position or not. Rather than shock or drown it with a drop of water, get a small corner of paper towel damp just to fit over most of it's head except the nostrils. That's about all I can think of. Don't be too discouraged if it doesn't make it though.
Do you have pics of the other babies ?

I know I just thought with it being full term and it was the first to show signs of hatching but then days and days passed with others hatching and not this one got me worked up. I have adhd so I over think and I’m soo upset now I feel I have killed the baby . I was scratching the side of the egg to stimulate as it showed the egg shell going more see through. I didn’t want to leave its head in after it popped as I thought it might drown or the egg shell go hard and no oxygen in. I wish I hadn’t touch the egg now as I feel if it is dead it’s on me. I have been in tears all morning. I have him on a warm damp kitchen towel and been changing it but looking at him this morning, he looks dead. The yolk has gone down smaller but there is no movement and I can’t see breathing. He’s little but would have been 64 days . I know they can look dead but can they look dead where not breathing. I’m in bits. I’ll add pictures of the other babies. They went into their nursery tank this morning. I let everyone have a good 24 hours in the viv. I still have one who hatched out last night and had umbilical cord still on so I put him on damp paper too. It’s dropped off now but I’m keeping him in the incubator for a little while longer since he batched later. One egg is still to hatch but I’m leaving that. I’ll add pictures now. Now my shipment of micro crickets haven’t come so I’m driving to pick some up today just in case as I want to see if any hungry later (mainly the first ones who hatched sat). I have them a little bath (just covering their feet) before hand and I have just tried them
With a spray of water just. Here’s the babies . I have 4 in the tank for now.

Heat bulb was off here as I was switching them as first was too hot. I have a 75w in the 4ft tank. I am keeping all the climbing stuff at the hot side. I strip cleaned the tank and everything in it so it’s squeaky clean for them.

Babies are so cute!!!

I hope your other little guy makes it.

They are little cuties. Just need to find good homes for them when they are older . I have no interest in selling them. I just want them to go to good homes who won’t get bored of them. Either someone I know or someone who already is a beardie lover and has beardies. This is why o never had any intention of breeding. I can’t deal
With the loss of any animal life and also I have rescues and don’t want to contribute to a market that already has so many unwanted ones x

Thank you can they look dead and not breathing. I watched it for like half hour and couldn’t see anything

It can be hard to tell even on adults, I would think it would be even harder with a hatchling.
Either way it isn't your fault, sometimes they just aren't strong enough to make it.

Agree with xp29!
I often even don't see my big guy Taco (13 months old) breathing - but he's clearly alive and conscious

Yes. And especially with the constellation (see other thread, parthenogenesis suspected - and this in a species that usually isn't doing so) I would assume genetic failures are even more likely.

Those babies look older than hatchlings, they look like they're already 2 weeks old ! How many were there alogether ? Can you put a tape measure next to them, it's interesting to see ones that hatch out nice + big.

Which thread is that ? I'll see if I can find it.
