Here's a question for experienced gecko breeders...
Here is a pic of an Amyae juvie. It is about 3 weeks old and weighs 6g.
As you can see, it's umbilical slit appears to have not yet healed over properly. The other Amyae I have of the same age has a perfectly healed slit, as do all of my other Nephrurus babies this year. As I haven't seen anything like this before, thought I put a pic out there and ask if anyone else had had this with their babies, if there was a treatment or if it fixed up by itself.
I think this scab will leave with the next shed, but I'm concerned that the umbilical slit may open up at each shed and leak, possibly providing an entry point for infection.
