I would cut a slit in them right now. Many people I know do this to make sure there are no drownings. Since i started this practice I have not lost any fully developed neonates.

The snake had a real small hole in the late last night. Since it was about 28 hrs after the previous one pipped i went ahead and enlarged the bi enough to stick its head out. Not sure if it was really struggling but i wasn't going to take the chance. He is still in the egg with his head popping out , when i wrote earlier i miscounted the babies in the box. It is alive , i'm just waiting for him to finish comeing out. His cage is up and ready just need the lil guy to finish up lol. Paul
