? Egg pipping question

[AmandaS]

I posted early this morning the egg was popping. It's made a lot of progress (see pic) but is it possible it could be stuck? It has a really big yolk sac! Do I still leave the egg alone and not touch it or should I try to assist?

Leave it alone. When they have to fight to escape it makes them stronger. Just keep checking to make sure the inner membrane hasn't dried out and is stuck to the baby. You can tenderly split the shell over the carapace to make it easier. Just a little bit.
