Ditto that. Scissors (especially nice sharp little cuticle scissors) give you more control than a scalpel.

Also, any time you cut an egg, try candling it first to see where there are no veins. Mark a spot there, and then make a tiny little pinch in the shell on that spot so it is raised up a bit, and make your initial "snip" there. This way you'll minimize your risk at hitting veins.

Keep in eye on the overall humidity in the incubation container so that the eggs don't dry out further before the hatchlings emerge on their own...you don't want them turning into a solidified, dried mass of egg goo & baby snake.

Good luck!
