Help! Is there something wrong with my hatchling?

[Matt1851]

First off id like to apologize if im posting in the wrong topic its just really urgent! I was sexing all my babies (2 weeks old) when i discovered something strange with my one mac snow baby! I put a flashlight underneath them to try and find some pre-anal pores and the mac snows belly looks empty :main_huh: but while i look at all the other babies they have thick belly's! here are some pics i don't know if you will be able to see what im talking about

First pic is of regular baby (Normal)

These two are of the mac snow (see the emptyness?)

Please let me know if im just freaking out or if this is actually something weird! She is my favorite hatchling and i had big hopes for her in the future

Well, if she's eating and pooping then whatever's supposed to be there must be there. Maybe others more familiar with gecko anatomy can be more helpful.

i honestly dont think shes eaten or pooped. i have her in her own bin now with some food and im keeping a close eye on her seeing what up.

I don't like keeping hatchlings together in the same enclosure/tub. Too many times one will be eating and the other won't. That's probably what was happening with your gecko. Hope everything works out for you.

Thanks, if she doesnt make it hopefully my last two eggs will pop out some more MS's

i would not worry most likely you are just seeing a empty belly.

Hatchlings have very thin and light colored ones have translucent skin. You can see their guts, and when they eat, the stomach area shows some darkened color. It looks like you have one that isn't eating.

I got it to eat a cricket today! I think everythings going to be ok!

Great Since you've seen it eat, try looking at it like you did before, so you can see the difference.
