Should I cut eggs?

We have been incubating at 87 degrees and had our first baby pip yesterday - day 58. This morning he/she is almost completely out of the egg. None of the other eggs have piped yet. Should we cut?

I’ll definitely post pics and updates. Really hoping for an OD Mojave, or Banana OD Mojave female and they’ll all be het Clown. Keeping fingers crossed!

I would also cut at the 24hr point. Especially with that one ready to go. Hopefully they got the idea to do it on their own while you’re working.

Quick tip since it looks like your first is a super mojave~
If you shine a light through top of the head like you candle an egg, the light will shine through the eyes.
On a regular super mojo, the pupils will shine red.
If it’s a banana super mojo the whole eye will shine red

Thanks for the tip! I was wondering if there was any way to tell if any other genes might be in there l!

This still makes me giggle a little. I don’t know why, just “Shine a flashlight through his lil translucent head” is an amusing mental image, and even funnier to see done. Snake is probably like “huh?”

Can confirm! Very confused noodles.
Especially since you already need to get them around the neck and head that they hate. XD

Any updates?

Looks like I have the Super Mojave, 2 Bananas or combos, and 2 Mojave, Pastel, or OD combos. I’ll continue to update as they leave their eggs. Thanks for all the help and support guys! Very excited about these little ones. May need some help identifying the correct morphs on them.

They’re all out now! Looks like a nice clutch. I think I know what they all are but will wait till their first shed to be certain.
