I haven't yet had the pleasure of having the option The closest I got was performing surgery on a hatchling beardie with it's umbilical tied around it's waist almost cutting the poor little thing in half, that god my hands were steady even if the rest of me was shaking It's all in one piece and eating me out of house and home by the way incase anyone wondered if I now had 4 beardie parts instead of one.
Anyway, back on topic for me!! I've seen it done a few times, not in person though on dvd's and on youtube, and it looks fairly simple, I watched Tracy Barker doing it on a video and she made it look like she was trimming her nails I bet it's nto that easy. I've said before popping and probing worries me more, but I'm going to have to learn how to do it, I just don't fancy the DIY approach Why don't local colleges ever do courses in something useful, anyone can build a wall That's me upsetting bricklayers but at least you can't really do irreprable (sp) damage to a wall  _________________ www.draco2.co.uk

That's superb Jamie, had me in fits. I must admit I'm exactly the same as you, I slit for NO other reason then being impatient and 'wanting to be a part of it'  _________________

Oh yes, sorry Jamie, I had meant to reply to your brilliant post - rubber gloves, scalpel, wipe my brow nurse
Scott I love the honesty, I do agree with you too - 'wanting to be a part of it', - what a good way to describe it.
Loving the answers from you all, many thanks.  |

If the day is near and there about to hatch i can see only one reason for it my self and thats why i do it (not royals mind)
full term deaths are avoided especially as some neonates are born minus there egg tooth

I did not know that, and certainly that is a very good reason for cutting. Brilliant, now we all have an excuse and can cut merrily away  |
