In Reply to: Russian ready to hatch, posted by graham on January 31, 2001 at 14:26:56:

The best thing to do is don't disturb them until they come ot of the egg on their own. Some hatch with a large yolk sack other without any. They can live on the nutrients in the yolk for a few weeks after they hatch I suspect in the wild they stay in the nest for a while after the yolk is absorbed. I have never soaked mine until they get very active and start searching for food.
The most important thing is don't disturb the yolk sack!

: I am currently into the 65th day of incubation @29.6c & 50% humidity.
: I can clearly see (as of tonight) that there are "scratch marks" within the shell case of all 3 eggs, leading me to assume that they must be ready for emerging soon.
: My experience with Russains is nil, with regard to hatchling care, although I have Box t experience, so I do know a little.

: I've read/heard that the hatchlings need to drink/soak almost immediatly upon emergance from egg, but what if egg sac is still there?

: Basic help for this situation would be helpfull.
: Thanks
