Egg cutting

[BHReptiles]

just asking, what is the purpose of the egg cutting? to see the babies and their potential morphs? or to make it easier for them to get out?

It's a little of both. Think of egg cutting like a prenatal ultrasound for humans - You want to see the sex of the baby, but most importantly, you want to be able to see if there are any defects on the baby. That's how I view it at least.

If i get a clutch this year i plan to cut once the first one pips. Not saying its the right thing to do, but its what im planning on doing.

This is what I will be doing! I would be too worried about cutting too soon, but I do plan on making a teeny slit once the first one pips.
