One of my female ghost's first ooth started to hatch today, however its been about 11 hours and there is still only one nymph hanging from it. I have been misting it 1-2 times a day and using a heat mat at night for the last month. Since I noticed the one hatched I turned on the mat and upped the humiditty to about 70%. Is that all I can do? Am I just being impatient? Is there only one nymph in there? Help me out guys.

 
They almost always hatch at night-early morning, it can take several days to hatch all of them, don't soak it too much but high humidity should help.

 
Three more hatched today but the first one to hatch seems to be dead.

My other batch of hatchlings are doing fine though, a couple died after falling while molting but everyone else made it to L2
