within 24hrs. If they haven't, you need to pip the eggs.

Cheers

First head of what???

Depends what we're talking about, I've have elapids emerge 2 to 3 days after sticking their heads out for the first time.

Congrats!!
Some of my beardy clutches have taken over a week to all hatch after the first hatchling emerged, so at least leave them for a week before "pipping" them imo
