Hatchling questions

[samh0114]

Will 8 hatchlings all fit in one 6-QT container until they have their first shed? And is it alright to leave them in the incubator at 88-89 until their first shed? Also how do you know who has shed and who hasn't since they are together? Thank you

Yes they will fit.

As for knowing who had a shed and who did not, it's simple your hatchlings will have a very shiny look to them until they shed their skin.

6qt might be a bit small for 8 but you can use that size, I always remove mine once they are fully out of the egg, I check daily to see which ones shed and are still shiny.
