12 days to go until my best guess hatch date. Eggs are all looking great. Thermostat has been riding 89 degrees the whole way with only two brief power outages that lasted no more that a few minutes. No real temp loss.

A question about this clutch, when I got to the eggs I was alittle late and the clutch setup on me into a mass of eggs. How will this effect the snakes hatching towards the bottom? When they cut their way out will the weight of the other eggs squish them out? I'm not so sure of trying to separate the eggs this late in the game. I got a few when I first put them in the incubator but stopped because the rest felt really stuck. Bottom eggs have sides exposed to get air and still look great. Just worried about the weight. Should I support the mass of eggs somehow to lessen the load?

Also how long should I wait to cut an egg that hasnt hatched with the rest of the clutch? I've no experience with it and know nothing about it. However I dont want to loose a single baby since they have all made it so far.

Any help with either or both question would be great.
Thanks....Mike
