HELP ! My desert tortoise eggs are HATCHING!

Posted by nick on September 16, 2001 at 20:17:01:

hello, i am so excited i just checked my eggs and 2 of the eggs have little heads poking out of them! I am so scared that i am going to do something wrong, what should i do now? I heard that you need to spray the hatchling with water on its face because the mucus from the egg can dry on their nose and sufficate them in the dry hot incubator, is this true? please give me any advice you may have. ALSO how long will it take for the baby to come completely out of its shell? right now they are just sitting in the shell with their heads peeking out, not doing much (resting?)
thanks for any help
Nick
