    First clutch just pipped!!
    Ok this is my first clutch ever, and they both pipped this morning. Should I leave them in the egg tub with the vermiculite until they fully come out or should I transfer them to a tub with a moist paper towel. This was a clutch of 6 eggs and only 2 made it. My female laid while I was away on vacation and I came home to some pretty dry eggs. She was also only wrapped around 3 eggs and pushed out the other 3. Anyway the 3 eggs she wrapped all looked great up util 2 weeks ago when one went flat. And now the two have pipped. What should be my next step. Also they are in an extremely poor incubator, basically a cooler with water and a water heater, and a floating egg tub. I feel lucky to of even got these 2. And just in case ,I did get rid of all the nasty dead eggs, they were hard as rocks

    Hi,

    I leave them in the egg tub until they have fully emerged from the egg.

    Once they have come out on their own I clean the vermiculite off them and set them up on damp paper towel in their own seperate tubs. :)

    And congratulations on the little wrigglers. :D
