Let them be. They will come out when they are ready.

Relax , are you set up for them after they all hatch out?

[zman]

my girlfriend has been watching them for me and told me the same thing but i just wanted to double check, lol

I had one who stuck his head out for 2 days (nearly 3) before emerging... and he was perfectly fine, in fact the largest of the clutch. So as long as they don't look tangled, I'd just leave them alone until they're ready. The wait is killer, I know!

Congrats! Just be patient and they'll come out when they're ready.

yes im ready , can i keep all the the babies together in a tank or is it better to separate them

[llovelace]

Keep them in a 6qt tub with moist paper towels til they shed, then they can go into individual 6qt tubs (available at home depot for .99)
