They are starting to hatch!! what to do !

i got a eggs from a hatch , 2 are dimpled, one poked his head and , and then i think got scared and went back in . the other his head is sticking out and not doing anything , should i just let them be . or cut the eggs to help them out !

Let them be. They will come out when they are ready.

thanks just being a worrying father , lol

Relax :), are you set up for them after they all hatch out?

my girlfriend has been watching them for me and told me the same thing but i just wanted to double check, lol

I had one who stuck his head out for 2 days (nearly 3) before emerging... and he was perfectly fine, in fact the largest of the clutch. So as long as they don't look tangled, I'd just leave them alone until they're ready. The wait is killer, I know! :oops:

Congrats! Just be patient and they'll come out when they're ready. ;)

yes im ready , can i keep all the the babies together in a tank or is it better to separate them

Keep them in a 6qt tub with moist paper towels til they shed, then they can go into individual 6qt tubs (available at home depot for .99)

dam your up early girl , lol can i put them in a xtra tank i have , not to sure how to set up a tub with a lid to put a heat lamp on it

Heat pad plugged into a thermostat under the tank set at 95 degrees.
Place a 6qt tub with damp paper towels into the tank so 1/3 of the tub is over the heat pad.
Use a probed thermometer to make sure the hot spot inside the tub isn't higher than 92.

4 of the eggs have little heads poking out, the fifth egg nothing yet no dimple , . whats the longest i should leave the fifth egg alone should i just wait till the 4 little ones come out completely , what r they waiting for !!
