Another Baby Lizard @_@

[kiyakotari]

The last of the fertile eggs just hatched (the other three that were in there went brown and wrinkly, which means they either weren't fertile, or something was wrong with them).

I kinda' suspect this baby lizard isn't going to live out the night, though. Something seems to be wrong with it. The other one was immediately active, if a bit uncoordinated. This one is flopping around and can't seem to straighten its spine. =/

EDIT: Yeah, new baby didn't last long. Definitely some kind of birth (hatching?) defect.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. It is kind of wonderful that any of the eggs hatched out, that's a good sign for the health of the parents.

Yeah, I'm not sure what to do about this little squirt, though. It looks like it has little to no control over its rear legs, and the spine is pretty abnormally curved. It doesn't seem to be improving much, either. (Though when it first hatched, it looked like it was seizing, it was flopping around so much. At least that has stopped.)
