Lakshmi, the first time mother to be

The tiny snake from the miraculous moldy egg ! That egg was most deflated and dry when I found the clutch , she filled out nicely but developed a window , I suppose it was a last egg from the clutch . I separated her from the pile coz it was barely holding. Then at the edge of the window the mold started to spread so I started daily wiping with Decasanum , its antiseptic that doesn’t burn the skin and is used in surgeries , especially in broken appendix when pus is already out , organs is washed in decasanum so it’s safe . I fought and got rid of the mold completely. Then the egg suffered a fall when I’ve lost feeling in my thumb while inspecting the egg . It fell about a meter onto a soft dog bed , no bleeding . The only consequence from the fall was a sudden rapid growth . On day 72 when half the clutch piped , she still sat there silent and I’ve got worried so I cut the egg . Since she is extremely small baby I had to push half the fluid out of the egg to be able to check on a baby . Then she poked her head out and started breathing herself . But she sat in her cut up egg for almost 3 days so I decided to check why it takes her so long . I found out that the yolk she tried to absorb is completely solid and she was bound to it by umbilical cord which I cut in the middle to remove her from that nasty egg . Set her up in a tiny container on dry paper towels so her nub have time to close and dry up . Have her water drops to drink . Today she shed , navel is closed completely and she is a beautiful anery ! Maybe it’s a boy , I can’t pop them . Anyways this baby is my holdback and I hope it’s a girl . If she is then her name is Mansa !
