No, I generally do not like cutting eggs. Some keepers do this in order to prevent a weak hatchling from being unable to free itself from the egg, which could cause them to die in the egg. In my opinion, we're already implementing too many poor practices of artificial selection that produce animals that are physically weak. Being able to free itself from the egg is such a basic form of selection that it deserves to be left in place.
