Cut? Day 50 (at LEAST), eggs collapsing

[RIDE]

This particular clutch is from Mojave x Mystic Yellowbelly.

Nice pair. Well I will be looking for a hatching post then within a week or 2

Thanks! Will do!!

I'm obviously hoping to hit on the Yellowbelly Mystic Potion, which I haven't seen before.

They look fine for where they're at. I wouldn't cut yet. I think the best practice is waiting for the first pipper.

Not sure how to edit/update the original post/thread title to show UPDATE, and remove multiples of the same pic.

But....

I knew I didn't find this clutch on day 1, they were a bit too collapsed when I found them to have been freshly laid (lower than optimal humidity for eggs in the moms tub).

Today I looked in the incubator into this egg tub and noticed a tiny red mark on one the eggs...

Closer inspection revealed THIS!!!!



Closer:



PIPPED!!!

Looks like they're cutting their own way out. Congratulations.

Congrats! Here they come!!!!

They are fine. Not worth chancing. You will have plenty of time to enjoy when they come out. I used to cut but have since learned to be patient. Not worth the risks to me

There are also risks to not cutting.

Congrats. Nature is amazing isn't it.
