Egg Stem: What To Do (Update Post-Shed)

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.
 
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.
