    My first babies
    I got home last night and checked the incubator and saw one most of the way out of the egg. As soon as I opened the door it shot back into the egg so I decided to cut. From my Phantom x Phantom pairing and 5 eggs it looks like 2 supers and 3 phantoms. This morning I re-checked and found the explorer out until I opened the door again and got to see two heads peeking out.

    I move them to the rack as they come out.

    I usually leave them in the incubation tub until they all come out of their eggs.

    Congrats on the odds :) I can't wait to see them all out of the eggs.

    To answer your question, it doesn't matter when you move them to the rack as long as they are completely out of the egg. I alternate between leaving them until they are all out, and moving them individually as they emerge. It just depends on how I feel :)

    I have heard that the movement of hatchlings outside the eggs stimulates those still inside to come out so I leave mine in until all animals have left the eggs.

    I decided to move them as they came out. I'll add some new photos as I get them. So now 2 Phantoms and one Super are out I expect the other two out for when I get hom from work today.

    The Phantom was the first completely out yesterday afternoon since it's my first hatchling I was amazed by how small it was:

    Now this morning was an additional Phantom and the first super out I just love the look of the supers and I am really excited to see the second one as I believe it's a bit darker:
