anybody have trouble getting your neonates past their second shed ?
i've lost a few this year that got stuck in it and crap out.
tried everything, once it happens, it's always been fatal.
same conditions (humidity, etc.) as other ones that suvive that early stage of development.
any feedback from your experiences would be appreciated.

Are they coming from smaller eggs/ smaller breeder females?
The only thing I could think of is your humidity may be to low.
From my experience I loose less than 1%, within the first week and i can usually tell which ones. They seem to be smaller and less fliesty right out of the egg. Keep them watered and they should do alright.

Yeah.. Most of mine do fine. Just gotta keep that humidity up. So important for the babies.
