Also, I noticed you said you would give them 2 days to come out and put them in their own tubs. I've read that once they emerge, you should keep them all in the incubator together in a tub with some moist paper towel until they shed.

As long as temps are stable outside of the incubator and correct temps are provided you don't have to keep them in the incubator. Honestly I pull mine when they emerge and they each go into their own tub. A lot of this hobby is trial and error, everyone does it their own way and as long as it works for them it is the right way :D

I do agree with everyone else though about leaving them alone, even if they do emerge when you are gone there is no harm in leaving them in the tub they were incubated in for a few days.

Stop stressing.

Once they pip they typically spend a week huddled together in the corner of the tub until they shed anyway.

I pull them once they come out of the egg and put them together in one tub in the rack until they shed, but they can just as easily be left in the incubator.

Thanks everyone gonna leave them alone and put a little bowl of water for them to drink...

Make sure there's air holes. Saw someone lose a clutch because they left for the weekend and the hatchlings didn't have oxygen supply when they hatched while he was gone.

Going away on day 53 and cutting at day 53, so they have two days to come out before you leave. Really?
