Well you certainly don't have to! Place the baby, by itself, on clean misted paper towels and see what it looks like in 12-24 hours. If it's a long stem, and has dried, you can snip it off about a quarter inch from the belly. It may just fall off in that time. That's what usually happens.

This is very helpful for the new breeders

Why isn't this a sticky?

I currently have a hatchling that has a stem attached. I am hoping it dries some and drops off or at least shrivels in the next day or two.

Fingers crossed. It *is* really stressful.

This was the one that worried me last year. You can see the amount protruding through the abdomen is larger than what we typically see. I let it dry a couple days and then snipped it off about a quarter inch from the belly . After the shed, there was a small defect in the abdomen and the stem was gone. After the next shed, the defect was completely closed and undetectable. I'd really prefer they not do this, though!!
