Some help with my hatchlings

I've cut my eggs a couple of days ago, on day 53, and they haven't come out with there heads yet. I think it's been 4 days now and the fluid in the eggs start to look pretty bad. They move so they are alive!

Is there anything I need to do? And in that case what?

Thanks, Mikael

Just wait. They will come out eventually :)

Yes, leave them alone. ;) I know it's tempting to keep checking on them, but the best thing you can do is allow them to absorb their yolk and come out on their own. Make sure the humidity is bumped up so they don't dry out, but other than that they should be crawling out soon.

What temp did you incubate them at?

Yes, I did the same a couple of months ago. I had the dates wrong and I was around 89 on the temp. I have seen it take up to 63 or 64 days. If you leave them completely alone, they will be eventually by fine.

Okey, we will leave them alone :colbert2:

They were incubated at 89 degrees...

Thanks for all the advise!

I've had the fluid get gross and what I do is squeeze the fluid out and replace it with incubator-temp water. Works very well and the babies don't have to sit in the bacteria-infested fluid.

Ya know what Becky? I always beleive that you'll come into threads like this and save the day :D

....Hey Laura- got your sketch pad handy?!?! :P

Nah. It's just what I've done that works. I hate for them to have to sit in icky fluid for days(could be 7-8 more days after you cut until the snake comes out).

Thats why i dont cut'em, they come out when they are ready, not me:)
