Made it to Day 50..

Tim would she be safe slitting at 50 days ???

I don't recommend it to everyone. I have cut on day 50 before, but usually wait until day 52. I would say that if you have never watched anyone do it before, I would not attempt it. If done right, it is my opinion, that it doe not affect the animal at all. I actually cut a clutch of eggs this weekend, and did not puncture the internal membrane. The snake was still in a sack, not exposed to the outside air, directly, but I had a little window to peek in on.

I am not necessarily telling Jen to cut her eggs, but was stating that I do cut mine at or near this time frame.
