Never is a long long time.
We had one egg this year that was tiny and a boob egg.
day 51 we cut because as we figured before cutting, the snake was filling out the inside of the egg so much it probably couldn't have got out on it's own.
The yolk was 100% absorbed before we cut the egg and the snake came out the next day on it's own in perfect condition.
I seriously doubt we would have a healthy happy snake if we hadn't cut that egg.
I'm all for letting the first one pip, but I never say never![]()
