Pip-pip-hurrah!

If you pull it apart, does it look like intestines? That would scare the you-know-what out of me...
 
Absolutely, it bit me when I cleaned out the tub and threw 'the thing' away. It has lost 1g in weight, but looks and moves normally.
 
Just my guess-but it looks like it didn't finish absorbing its yolk before exiting the egg and it finally fell off.

They all look great though!
 
It was quite smelly, so I only prodded it a bit with some disposable surgical scissors. It was most like curdled egg, like I found in my eggs that didn't hatch last year, sort of rubbery.

Nope, there was no egg hanging on the outside of the hatchling after pipping, just a little stump.
 
So there was a stump on the snake, and then later, the thing appeared? T?hat is too weird.
 
Yep. I set up the snake on damp paper towel, it had a little hernia and small stump. 2 days later, no 'thing'. Day 4, snake + 'thing'
 
But the snake's belly is intact, after the thing appeared? I wish some huge breeder that has seen everything, like Kathy or Rich, would read this.
 
Ah, here's the snake on hatch day, when I set it up in its tub

That is pretty odd looking. I agree that it would be nice if one of the big breeders would come give their opinion. This is some thing us newer breeders should know about.
 
The ventrum seems to have pretty much healed up around the hernia, so I'm not sure if I should change now to dry towels to let the stump dry up, or stay with moist substrate?
 
I'll PM Kathy. I know she's doing back to back shows, though. Ok, I PMed Rich, too. Hopefully they have time to look.
 
That is so weird, I would have guessed it was unabsorbed yolk by the looks of it.
Congrats on the pips! I'm sorry about the kinked one. I hope the one that produced the alien 'thing' will be OK...
 
I also would have guessed unabsorbed yolk. Is it possible that the "stump" had yolk in it? When I have seen something that looked kind of like that before, that is what it was.
