Moving a pipping egg/baby

[Bcycling]

I would love my students to see an egg hatch. I think I will have some eggs next year after ahco starts back up. If I get a baby that pops in the morning is it safe to move and egg into school so the kids can see?

If its given enough high humidity and heat why not

I'd try not to stress the baby too much, I don't think moving the hatchling is inherently unsafe but you may end up with a twisted umbilicus if you stress the baby too much (i.e. Bright lights and lots of noise/movement can make a baby nervous and cause it to turn in the egg, too much of this can leave you with a twisted umbilicus).

If you are going to do this, I would move the entire incubator into the classroom before they pip and not move it again until they are all out of the egg.

That's a great idea. You could turn it into a class science project. They could record the daily temperature, humidy. They could also keep track of the days until hatch day. You might even bring in new hobbiest into our reptile world.

Great suggestions. Not sure what I will do at this point. Summer break just started and I am guessing by the end of July I will have all the eggs in tubs and maybe the first clutch out of eggs already. I have three more girls that seem ready to drop their clutch in the next month or so. I'd love to take them in, just not sure if it's worth the risks.
