    I don't cut, but I suppose if you're dead set on cutting it would be best to wait for the first to begin pipping on their own.

    I wait until the first one comes thru, unless one of the eggs didn't dent. Then I cut to relieve the pressure and make sure that there's an air bubble for the hatchling. They are what they are. But I do candle and with the albino's to hets and possible lucys clutches you can tell by candling!

    Cut no earlier than day 52.

    Another reason to wait, based on my experience is that as soon as you cut, your brain will tell you that they should hatch the next day. I have cut as earle as day 47, and the wait for them to come out once I knew what was in there, was DREADFUL. This year, I plan on cutting no earlier than day 53 (most of our eggs were cut on day 49 last year).

    Hope that helps,

    Yarghhh Im on day 49 right now. Ive decided to wait until they pip. I realized that I want to experience that first head coming out of the egg naturally. Fortunately, my schedule just changed where I have weekends, and I expect day 52 to be the first pip, but either way 5 will have days 50-53 to just sit and wath the bator.
