    As long as you didn't dragonshout him, I'm sure he'll be fine. He just may take a little longer to come out.

    No I just poke him very lightly to see if he was okay...

    Don't worry so much. They are professional snakes, it will be just fine.

    I have absolutely no proof to support this but I try not to spook them too much while they are pipping and coming out of the egg. One reason for this is one of the main ways babies die is by drowning or tangling up in their umbilicus. To me the more times they squirm around in the egg the more likely it is that one of these things may happen. Another reason is that I have noticed babies that I mess with during the hatching process tend to be a little more skittish towards me once they come out.

    But they are professional snakes... so it's probably fine.
