Large eye holes on hatchlings

[funkyjimbob]

Hi!
I have a few babies from a last clutch that are getting to the 2 month mark now. One thing I have noticed is that the female and one of the smaller males have slightly wide eyelid holes. They are otherwise completely healthy and are eating and pooing fine with no visible signs of stress. Can anyone tell me what may cause this? Dehydration?

Thanks!

I had an entire clutch of veiled come up with a similar problem - only the eye holes never fused. They looked like the above pic, but also were open all the way on one side. Like it never zipped shut. I believe it was due to a sudden increase in temperature during incubation. The room they were in got very warm in the summer. These guys were unable to feed and began to perish at 2 weeks. Yeah. little buggers had enough juice in their tiny bodies to last 2 weeks.
