Put them in cricket tubs on warm, damp paper towel and leave them in the incubator for 24-48 hours to let them rest and reabsorb anything that's left of their egg sacs.

hi thnx for reply m8 do you mean put them in seperate tub now as they have not yet come out or after.If i put them in after do they need uv as there will be no uv in the incubator.also if you could kindly help they have had there head out since 12.00 dismorning and its now 5.00 pm and they have not made any progress looks just the same.

It usually takes 6-18 hours between them putting their heads out and actually leaving the egg.

Put them into cricket tubs once they've actually hatched - a day or two of quiet is good for them to rest, and it stops them disturbing any of the unhatched/hatching eggs. They'll be fine without UV - remember that at this point in the wild they'd likely be sleeping and recovering for a day or two in a burrow or a crack in the rocks.
