    Some say cut that it doesn't harm the snake.
    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?
