          I use a regular bottle opener to punch a small triangular hole in
the can.  I pour a little bit into a baby food jar, from which I take my
daily hatching amount.  I keep the can sealed in between with a piece of
scotch tape.  The tiny hole and the tape keep it sealed well preventing
humidity damage to the cysts.  When the can is nearly empty, I remove the
whole lid with a regular can opener to get the last eggs out.
