When to cut open?

nickrb Jun 09, 2003 03:30 PM

Hello everyone,
I have a clutch of eggs that is due to hatch in about 10 days or so and the eggs are dimpiling and getting soft. When should I cut them or not cut them at all? Thanks

Pip?? did you mean "rip", or is this a term I've yet to hear? Seriously, I'm not trying to bash on you or anything, just curious.

yes, he meant pip. It is when the snake pokes through the egg.
