How long will i wait to cut my ball pthon egg
when can i cut my ball python egg? how many days should I wait? I just saw in youtube the advantage of cutting the egg.

There is no advantage to cutting your eggs aside from allowing you to see what you have. The day that you are able to cut all depends on the temp that you are incubating at.

if you do decide to cut your eggs rather than let the snakes pip their own the general rule of thumb from what I've read and heard is cut once the first egg has pipped naturally.

Personally, I would not cut but if you do, I would say no earlier than day 60 at 89 degrees to be safe!

Like someone else said, it depends on your temps. I would just wait until the first one pips. It is true that really the only advantage of cutting them is to see what you have. Some people have said their babies didn't have the egg tooth, or didn't know how to get out, but I'm betting that is fairly uncommon. My clutch last year was a disaster, just about everything that could go wrong with them did, but they all had their egg tooth. I plan to cut after the first one pips.

I don't wanna burst anyones bubble but the earliest I have cut before was day 29. Now granted it was just a small V just to see if I hit albino's or not but in any case they all hatched out just fine and had no problems! Infact they were all killer feeders! But I wouldn't recommend it to someone who A. this is their first year or B. isn't confident in what they are doing or is afraid they may "screw" up. I may have been lucky but then again I cut the 6 other clutches I had early too. Not at day 29 but more like 35-40. Guess I was just impatient.

if you wanted to know if you hit albinos all you had to do is candle them around day 35 to 40 @ 88F. albinos eggs have a pink glow to them het eggs are much darker. easy to tell apart
