My first clutch of eggs is starting to hatch! Two of the snakes are poking through the shells. How long does it usually take for them to come all the way out? The first one poked through early this morning and is still not out. I am very anxious to see them all the way.

All of the hatchlings should slit within 48 hours of each other. They usually stay in the egg another day or two, but if they still have a large yolk sac they may hang out for longer. Don't pull them out or open the eggs farther. If any do not slit, thats a different story, manually slit those 48 hours after the first egg slit.
