Need help Identifying first clutch!

[Slaugbr1]

I know some breeders suggest to wait for the first pip. Some say cut that it doesn't harm the snake. Well i cut today my first time ever. Iam on day 56 at 88.5....... Anyways the pairing was killer spinnerblast x normal

So the possibilities are

Pastel
Lemonblast
Bumblebee
Spinnerblast




Thanks for all the help! I have a idea of whats in there i want to see what the community thinks! Also i am happy to not have nicked any big vessels

Before anyone reads this thinking it's ok let's just cut 5, 10 days or more before due date here are some facts cutting too early exposes your hatchlings to bacteria, hatchlings may dry out, when disturbed too much they tangle themselves in their umbilical cord, hard belly etc

Yes cutting can save an hatchling but it does have risk too so the "it does not harm them" is false hopefully everything will go smoothly.

Cutting when the first one pips or when you know for sure when they are due to pip is much preferable hopefully in the future you will keep that in mind

As for identification can you at least wait till they get out?

Well I did not realize it was such a big deal I have researched every step of the way. I read that at my temp day 56 was good. I did not mean to anger you so. Iam done after this clutch.

So 12 hours after the cut 6 in the morning before work

Nice! It always makes me smile to see others who are glued to their incubator once the heads start coming out!

I am not angry I am just stating that there are risks not just for you but for others that read this and may chose to cut in the future,,,,don't get me wrong I cut too (day 59 that's 24 to 48 hours before they pip for me) but there are risks, I know them but not everyone does and sadly some people have lost clutches because it.

As far as ID I can make a guess too but since they are in the egg and I don't see the whole hatchling I can be very wrong not to mention colors can still change a little

But I would say

Lemon Blast
Spinner Blast
Pastel
Bee
???
Bee
Bee
Lemon Blast

A lot of people do cut at day 56, but as Deborah said it has risks. I always wait til the first one pips, personally. It will be easy to ID once they're out of the eggs.

But I'd agree with Deb's assessment, just that her "???" is very likely a Spider.

Congrats on your first clutch!!

Forgive me as I've never had a clutch, is it normal for them to just lay their heads? Most of the photos and videos I've seen they seem to be so nosey and curious.

Very curios and active just very scared

It could also be that they are at a lower temperature than what they are used to in the incubator as well. Then being newly hatched are more sensitive to differences of temperatures.
