    Hatching BPs

    After the balls have hatched do they need to be seperated into individual enclosures or is it ok to leave them all together? And why? Any insight on this would be much appreciated!

    You can keep them together after they hatch until they have had their first shed. After that you will want to separate them so you can keep individual records for each one of them and to avoid adding any additional stress to them.

    I leave them together in the incubator until they shed. Just switch them to a tub with damp paper towels. This is certainly one of those things that is extremely variable
