Their starting to hatch I have a few questions

Hey my eggs are starting to hatch. Three of the six have pipped. It's only day 53. Is this too early? I have seen one poke its head out and back in. I see two spiders and a normal so far. Should I take them out as they come out or wait until they all come out on their own? Do I need to take the temps down in the egg box? Sorry for all the questions but I'm pretty excited. Pretty cool after coming home from the Daytona show.
Thanks

Let them be, If you want you can cut the rest that haven't pipped on their own. And the ones that did pip on their own you can cut the hole lil bigger.

Just leave everything be the way its setup now. Once they are all out you can then set them up in their tub till they shed.

Gotcha. Do they usually hatch pretty quick or will it most likely be an overnight thing? Thanks for the quick reply.

It can vary, Ive had some pip and be out in 20 mins. It all depends on how fast they absorb the yolk and crawl out.

Normally its 1-3 days before they come out once they pip.

Also dont be alarmed if you see some of the umbilical cord/sac hanging off the belly. It will shrivel up and fall off in a day or 2.

As far as cutting the other three. The eggs didn't dimple and are soft but tight. I don't want to cut a baby by accident. Is there a safe way to do it?
Thanks for all the info

You can leave them be and see if they pip on their own, or use tiny manicure scissors and make a tiny poke to get a starting point to cut a hole.

None of my eggs ever dimpled so if your not comfortable cutting id say leave it be and see.

I'll give it until tomorrow morning and see what happens. Better safe than to hurt one of them.
Thanks
