 Tinker’s Egg Hatched: Help! Please respond

Okay, first off sorry I haven’t posted in quite a while. Tinker just laid her sixth batch of eggs on Monday and this morning when checking the eggs, I finally got the surviving egg from her third batch to hatch. Awesome I know, but now my concern.

If you look at the gecko, the skin below his neck and bottom of his mouth looks like a slightly inflated balloon with liquid inside. Also around the anal area is a small speck still attached. The egg was completely empty BTW.

I may be paranoid (which isn’t too far from the truth) but is the buldge under the chin/neck something that is natural (egg yolk) and will tighten up and the liquid be gone or is this a medical problem? And/or the small spot still by the anal? Thanks.

ED

No pics for a few days, just hatched don’t need to stress out the little it.

I am guessing the "baloon" type thing in the stomach is it’s yolk, and the think hanging off isnt comeing out oif the vent itself is it? If its by the "belly button" then it can be thought of as an umbilical chord or something like that. I have one hgatch like that and the thing fell off and the yolk was shortly absorbed.
I know how it can be with your first hatcling, lol, ask away any other questions you might have.

These are not the best pictures in the world but here they go:

First: Here’s Tinker



Here is Tinker’s off spring (Bubbles - I think is what my 2 year old niece named it):



Horrible picture I know, but I don’t wanna stress it out too much. It does have two hides, water bowl and calcium bowl right now. Waiting on getting pinhead crickets for its tank till tomorrow since it hatched yesterday. Anyways even though it’s blurry you can see the balloon thing under it’s jaw/neck skin. (above)





Top/side view of it.








Again I know the images suck, but I don’t wanna stress out the little Bubble too much now do I?

So we going with a birth deformity I would guess. Maybe as it gross the liquid will be ingested and it will tighten up.

It sucked because it was her first hatching. But on the other hand, 4 more eggs have hatched! And Tinker has not been breed by me, bought a gravid gecko (more on purpose then chance)
