How to cut?

This is my first year breeding and I have 2 clutches. 1 is on day 53. I am thinking about cutting and I have read a bunch of good posts but I think it would be beneficial if some experienced breeders chimed in here and compiled some tips in 1 thread for a sticky (maybe).

Soooo get to it :)

ralph has a video on youtube of him doing it

i have heard you just wait till the first pips then pinch the top and just cut a V with cuticle scissors

did know ralph had a video. thats awesome... im gonna go look for it.

here you go in case you couldnt find it

Today was day 53 for me, and i cut mine. It was pretty easy, you just have to be gentle.

I incubated at 88.9* first clutch ever* three little babies, lookin good. Cant wait to see what they all look like once they finally decide to come out. Hopefully all will be well with them.

hmmm looks easy. maybe ill go do it when i get home. i want to see if i got an albino! or 2 :)

I got a clutch on day 53 too. I'm going to cut them now.

I just cut my 5 egg mojo clutch, but I can't really see 3 of the patterns. From the 2 I could see I saw a mojo and what looks like a pastel, but it's probably a normal that just needs a couple more days for all the pigment to come in. They should be out Wed. or Thurs.

sweet, im def going home and cutting.

Thanks for posting that video. My clutch is at day 54 and I'm cutting tomorrow.
