ok my eggs in my first planned clutch are due to hatch this coming week( on/around the 22.) I been keeping a close eye on them checking morning an evening. mainly to remove any sign of mold since there been a couple spots that form in the one clutch. ( on those boob/window sections ) well my niece startled me and I dropped the lid against hte eggs( which I yelled at her for just barging into the room at a run.) I took a closer look at one egg ( these guys are dimpling pretty good now) and I see that the corner of the lid (which I drawn blood on before) has made a small nick into the egg. I worry about possible injury to the snake inside. the egg was still pretty fluid filled. but it seeping just enough thatI seen it. I worry of any possible issues that can occur for the next week, and any ideals on what to do . I can see the snake if I shine the light into the egg ( no bloody looking spots) but that about it. I had plann on nipping the eggs Come monday afternoon to my niece and nephew what they look like but now I may just use the one egg so I can do a better check on it. it tilted ( attached almost standing up ) so it most lieky I got a lucky break and the top only filled with extra moisture.

I was also wondering would it be ok to just leave the lids off now ( i keep the humidity up to about 85%( by the digital read out I getting from an vics temp/humidity gauge) and I know I have considation on the inside of the tubs all the time.( one reason I keep opening to wipe it off ) they still stay inthoe incubator and will be checked at least 2-3 time a day if the lid left off I would be in better shape to check on them with out moving ( or droping something on them ).

I also don't have much to worry about since the other clutch is about a week behind the first. ( and escapes wouldonly happen if they can teleport themselves.) I can try to get pictures tomorrow if that help but i will most likey have cut a cap on top to inspect the egg better.
