    Yes because like everything else I do, I do so to give the hatchlings the best chances, which is why I use an incubator vs maternal incubation and why I cut.

    While drowning is rare it does happen, I have seen it in person and since since then have decided to I put all the chances on my side by cutting.

    It does not mean that I make a huge cut exposing the animal, I do a single small slit and put the eggs back in the incubator.

    At the temp I incubate now (lower then previous years) I cut at day 55.
