I won't have any more hatching for a few months. I've got several catches going through the six month incubation process right now.

The most likely reason that the one passed was because most breeders start them too dry or leave them outside all day. Read this for more explanation:

When started correctly and well hydrated, the babies are not fragile and they all survive and thrive.

Thank you so much for your response! I tried everything then ran across your link a couple weeks ago. It was the only thing that made me feel better when she passed a couple of days ago. I read so many of your posts and its helped me thus far. I have 2 yellow foot, 1 marginated, 1 redfoot, a Giant leo, and a sulcatta. Ive got my hands full. Thank you so much for all of the knowledge you share with all of us. Its so valued and appreciated
