let them come out on their own, or else they will get hardbelly which, from what i know, is fatal. after you cut, just let them absorb the yolk on their own time, keep the humidity up too. someone more experienced will chime in soon. :D

I let them crawl out of the eggs in their egg tubs in the incubator. Then once they are out I rinse them in a bowl of luke warm water and place them in a container in a rack with papertowel substrate and water bowls. I place the entire clutch together into one bin until they shed then they get their own seperate containers.

Re: After cutting eggs.
I don't cut eggs until they are in the mid 50's day range. I leave them in the same egg box. I use glad press n seal so at this time, I replace the press n seal with the top that has a couple small air holes in it. I do this if they peep first also. after they absorb their yolks and come totally out of the egg. I move them to the hatchling rack, 6 qt sterilite tubs with the select-a-sheet paper towel (fits perfect) I make it very damp. This stays wet until their first shed. few days after the first shed I start offering live feed every few days. once the hatchling starts to eat, it is offer food every 5 days. after it taken food 5 times without any concerns it then could be sold. I give the hatchling at least 30 days depending on the look of the snake (health wise) to feed on it's own before assist feeding. And yes I had hatchlings feed around 30 days just before doing this on their own. So when a hatchling doesn't feed right away and at a normal weight for a hatchling, don't panic. if you get a hatchling that weight is in the 20 gram zone, then I don't wait as long to get it to eat.
