    Should I cut them now?

    So it's finally day 55 for my clutch from hell (see thread: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...d-about-others), and at least a few have made it! Looks like I've got 4 good eggs, 1 iffy, and 3 that went bad... not exactly what I was hoping for, but better than losing the whole clutch.

    Anyway, now that it's the end of the line, I'm wondering if I should go ahead and cut them. I normally wait for the first one to pip, but I'm worried about a couple of things - mostly the moldy eggs stuck to 3 of the good eggs, and the fact that a couple of them are burying the good eggs. Is there any reason to worry they'll be affected by the mold, once they start to pip, and/or might they have trouble getting out? I was thinking about cutting the bad ones off, then slitting the good ones to give them a head-start. Is that a good idea, or should I just let nature take its course?
