Great stuff, it takes a lots of effort to pip, but then they have air supply and can rest for 6-8 hours before the final push for freedom. :)

Good time to check size of the top of the shell that came off, when the humidity is correct, the bottom of the shell should be about 2/3 of the top.
If the cap is smaller, the humidity was too high, if the cap is too large, humidity was too low.
Just so you know for next time
