I have 8 eggs laid 4-13 the baby has popped thru...is there any set time when the others should come out or are they random?

paul

and thanks alot

i forgot to ask....i have two eggs that have been dimpled o about 2 weeks but no change should i slit them?

thanks again

paul

Paul, I usually cut all my eggs early, but in you case since the first snake has cut I would go on a cut the rest of the eggs. But it is up to you to decide if you want to do that. Most of us do that to make sure all of the babies will have a chance to live, Because I have hatched several clutches of Corn, kings, and Rat snake clutches were the snake died in the egg fully developed, I would hate to see a kool morph be dead in the egg. That is my reasons for cutting early. It is probably not as fun watching them cut as to cutting them but I think the survival rate is higher.Thanks David

WRONG... The only time I was WRONG is when I thought I was WRONG but I was really RIGHT.....LOL...LOL...LOL

whooo hoooo!!! I also have a clutch that was laid on the 13th. I'm incubating at 86-88. Should I cut???? The suspense is killing me but I don't want to do anything to risk the babies.

It sure is exciting!! I can't stop checking the incubator! I did get a snow corn baby hatched today, so that will have to hold me a couple more days.

Congrats on your clutch!!
