It doesn't matter how early you cut the eggs ...



Look, the damn thing survived, OK!



I got my dates mixed up - could happen to anyone (who hadn't bothered to read the "date eggs laid" on the side of the box).



I was under pressure and had to make an instant judgement!!!



IT WASN'T MY FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






Oh, alright then, it was day 39. Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed





Happy now???????????

You can always rely on your friends to cut your throat for you, but seemingly not your eggs Laughing

Does any one else have any helpful comments as to why they cut the eggs of Royals Question


Hi Sue
I always cut my eggs, more out of excitement really. I've bred royals for many years now and never lost one this way.I do recall a time without all the morphs and I never cut open any eggs, and still never had any problems.Hey, we are like big kids really, trying to sneak a look at our presents.I cut them on the day the first snake pips.Having the right tools for the job, knowing what your doing,being very careful, and timing are all important.

It does seem that we are all big kids, isn't it fun ? Laughing The hatchling Graziani Pastel girl that I bought off you last Autumn is really lovely. She is about 550gr which pleases me, nice and chunky yet not too fat for her age, and her COLOUR.... She is a cracker Surprised Very Happy Thankyou so much for her
