    Should I cut now? Day 53

    These eggs are in day 53 and im dying to see them hatch as this is my first ball python clutch ever!!!!!

    My question is when should i cut?

    The eggs have been incubated at 88-90 degrees the whole time w a few spikes up to 91 for less than a few hours at a time max. And that might have happend 3 times?

    Your OK to cut but seeing as its your first clutch id wait till the first one pips then cut.

    Better safe then sorry.
    Watch some videos on YouTube on how to cut first

    There are lots of threads here with first time clutches that got into trouble by cutting early. Cutting will not change the results of what is in the egg. Patience is a virtue in this hobby. Give them time. Looking at your picture, the eggs look fine. Let them develop at their own speed. Good luck! Hope they all do well for you.
