Little miracle

[PSGeckos]

We've had an egg that was well overdue and it was looking healthy enough so Pete candled it and we were convinced there wasn't a fully formed gecko in there (looked like a blob, but not a mass that usually fills the whole egg)
So we decided to carefully pip the egg, to our shock as soon as we pierced the egg, 3/4's of a little gecko popped out, fully formed and alive!

PANIC STATIONS!!!!

We cleared all the mebranes from around its head, all i could think of is when pups/kittens are born is to rub them to stimulate breathing, so thats what i screamed at Pete to do...
Well we put him back in the incubator in a cricket tub with moist kitchen roll. Dubiously peeked in there yesterday morning and well he's a little fighter, he's still with us, very weak, but getting stronger and hanging in there.

So we have everything crossed that the little fella will make it. :main_thumbsup:

Any updates?

He's doing good!!

He's now in the rep shed in a hatchling box and was tramping about in it, then having a sleep...bless him.

I will try and get a pic of him soon

Sounds like he's a little trooper!

It's amazing how strong these little guys can be.
I've had a couple that didn't look to healthy when they hatched, but a week later I can't tell them apart from the others. I hope he grows up big and strong for you. Best of luck.
