Hi Everyone,
A quick question. I am house sitting for a friend and his corns are about to hatch. I saw one pipping last night.( it's so exciting I will see his babies before he does:D ) He is away until the weekend.
I was wondering how long should I leave them in the container that they hatched in. Should I take them out after a few minutes or hours or days?
Looking forward to your advice,
Thanks Jimmy C.
 
Assuming that they are warm, safe, and secure from escape, I just give them a water bowl and leave them in their hatching box until their first shed. Then I separate them out of that box as they feed for me the first time.
 
Depending on what kind of incubator you have, make sure that they can not crawl to the heating element and burn themselves! and remember, you don't seem overly impatient, but don't force any of them out of the egg. good luck! what morphs?
 
Hey Thanks Darin and CSK,

Jimmy C.
