I sent a message yesterday and it never showed up so I apologise if it does and this is a repeat.
The day after the death of my spider gecko "hatchling" a new hatchling was born. This one had a portion of its yolk sac attached by the dried remains of the vitelline vessels. I dipped surgical scissors in iodine and snipped the dried vessels. The yolk sac was mostly dry. Question: Can anyone give me an idea why this happens? All of my net searches turn up water fowl yolk sac retention whereby a liquid yolk sac remains on the bird. The gecko's yolk sac was dry, and apparently jettisoned.
