Re: when to cut and when not to cut
on day 58 if humidity was low your egtgs would not still be "plump"
Mine always start to dimple in around day 45.
I also cut on day 52 and incubate at 88.5 to 90.5

Usually, people play it safe and cut all the eggs when the first snake pip. But, if you're worried, you can cut it now. Just realize there are risks involved in cutting eggs - most especially contamination, drying out, etc. But, it could also save a problem egg. So, it's really up to you at this point.
We didn't try to cut eggs until day 60 - but only because the mother abandoned the eggs (maternal incubation) and we were very worried something had happened to them that we can't see through the candling. I regretted doing it. We had more problems with them cut than if we just left them alone. We cut the eggs wrong. But, that's just my opinion and I'm no expert by any means.

If you cut the eggs DO NOT remove the snake from the egg. Leave them in the egg and they will come out after the yolk is absorbed. I would put a bottle of water in the incubator and let it warm up to incubation temp so you can add water if the eggs start drying out before the snake come out of the egg.

ok thanks for the info . im going to wait atleast till tomarrow probally , if i do cut the eggs how long does it take for them to come out

You sound pretty new to this. The best advice would be to not cut them at all and let them come out on their own IMO. When they hatch set them up just like your adults but use a damp paper towel as a subtrate instead of whatever you use for your adults.
