    Yea they'll be fine just don't leave them out to long.. I need to do a video on just how hardy ball python eggs really are.. I use to be like uber careful with them.. No I've seen that even with incubator temp spikes and being rolled or attached to moldy dead eggs for 60 days..

    Mark the tops of the eggs so that you can put them back right side up and carefully candle. If you do that the only issue you have is that you are letting the heat out of your incubator.

    Thanks. That is good to hear because I am nervous about doing something wrong.

    I don't know what kind of incubation setup you have but be really careful with this. There are people on here that had problems with temps and humidity because they were doing this . I know with my setup if the temp outside my incubator is around 75 it can take the thing about two hours to come back up to temp. I am on ambient temps in my snake room now so it really never gets below 85 in there this time a year and the humidity is not a problem where I live so it is no big deal for me to open my incubator. The temptation is high, however every time you screw with the eggs you increase the chance of a problem.

    The incubator that I have has a clear viewing window so I never have to open the door to let out any heat.

    Cool you are set. Mine are huge igloo coolers. I'm a cheapskate so no magic windows for me.

    I figured I would give and update and ask a question. This clutch has been incubation for 51 days today. I have read that a lot of people cut at 52, since it is our first time we are nervous about cutting too early. The eggs are sunken in now but we feel that we should wait until at least day 55 (Tuesday) before doing anything. What do you guys think?

    Thanks in advance.

    Wait until the first one pips before cutting.
