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!"

Re: How long will i wait to cut my ball pthon egg
There's no reason to worry unless the eggs are deteriorating or smell. Be patient. They will pip when they're are ready.

Was just going to say if temp was lower it would be longer, but at 89, they should be due any day now! Good luck!

But I wouldn't recommend it to someone who A. this is their first year or B. isn't confident in what they are doing or is afraid they may "screw" up. I may have been lucky but then again I cut the 6 other clutches I had early too. Not at day 29 but more like 35-40. Guess I was just impatient.
if you wanted to know if you hit albinos all you had to do is candle them around day 35 to 40 @ 88F. albinos eggs have a pink glow to them het eggs are much darker. easy to tell apart

Why? Possibility of the hatchling drowning (seen it in person).
Does it happen often? No, however every steps, I take from choosing to incubate the eggs in a incubator instead of letting mom do the job, to cutting eggs are to increase the chances of each and every single hatchling (how selfish right?)
Should anyone just go ahead and decide to cut not knowing what they do? No not recommended like with everything else if not done properly there are risks.
Ding, ding, ding....once you've seen it, you would think differently. Deborah and I saw not one, but two beautiful pinstripes that were unable to pip their eggs. Not only were the dead bodies dreadfully sad, it was even more heart wrenching, when the breeder showed us how they had stripped all the blood vessels off the side of the inside of their respective eggs trying to frantically pip the egg and take their first breath.
