It can take a couple of days for the hatchling to actually break completely out of the shell. As sometimes they break out with still a largish egg sac.
Keep them in the incubator until they are out. Of course keeping an eye on them.
If by any chance they do break out of the egg with an egg sac, dont panic :0)
As if small will absorb quite quickly, but keep on damp (not wet) kitchen towel, if out of the shell.
If a large egg sac, then place hatchling on damp kitchen roll in something like an egg cup so he/she is upright, and cant move about. In the incubator:0)
