First clutch is hatching!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I took some pics last night to post today asking if I should cut given the amount the eggs were collapsed. I read some threads about the eggs drying up and needing a bit of saline and thought I might be in that situation. I woke up this morning at day 59 and saw a little head poking out!
Pairing was Bumble Bee x Ghost
There was 1 head out at 9am which was this normal and when I just got home there were 3 total that are open. The first baby looks like a normal het ghost - it went back in its egg - the second is a bumble bee, and the third has a slit but I didn't want to go in and mess around quite yet because they seem to be doing fine without me fussing.
I know you all came for the pics. There will be many more coming but I want to leave them alone in peace and quiet for now. Here is your terrible, awful quality teaser; check in later for updates with many more pics:
What they looked like last night when I started to be worried:

I will be pipping the other couple of eggs if they aren't out in a few hours. Check back for the end results!

B-b-but... it's Christmas Eve! I want my oompa loompas NOW!
I am on the fence, but I do generally speak against cutting. We'll see if I can control myself when I go up later and open the box. If I do cut them, it's going to be a VERY small cut.

Congrats on the clutch!
If you waited 59 days to not cut...what's a few more? You'll be glad you waited when you see a box full of little heads!

3 pastel, 1 bee, 1 spider
Poor guy's not even born yet and he's got a complex! (watch him be a normal MALE)

He popped out this morning... ANOTHER spider! He was probably int he egg spinning his head looking for the roof.
First clutch = no normals (although even normals would be het hypo)
Many pics to come as the last few exit the egg and they shed out.
