    After you cut the eggs, they will usually stay like that for a day or two, sometimes more. Leave them in the incubator in the egg box. If you don't have holes in your egg tub, you might want to puncture two small holes on the lid. Then you should see them start to poke their heads out of the coil. They are breathing air at this point. Leave them alone some more until they crawl completely out of the eggs - this usually takes another day or two. When they're completely out, they will usually not have any yolk left, you can throw out the egg, clean out the snake (you can use the water you put in the incubator to wash out him out) and transfer the snake to a small tub (a 6 qt is ideal) with moist paper towels for substrate. The small tub should be set up with the proper heat gradient of 90 on hot side, 80 on cool side. You can put all of the snakes in the clutch in this one tub or if you already have all the tubs, you can separate them out too. After about a week or so, they should start to shed. Put each snake into individual tubs after shed if you haven't yet. You should be able to start feeding them a fuzzy at this point.

    My suggestion is, after you cut the eggs, take a picture of all of them and post it on this forum. There are several things that can possibly go wrong - like wrapped umbilicus, etc - that the experts here can identify very quick. They can help you deal with these kinds of things as you go along. Keep taking pictures and posting them at every stage so they can help.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
