What do you do with Babies?
In a year or two all of my ball pythons should be of breeding size. I am curious what you guys do with your babies once they hatch? I have seem some people put them immediately into their own separate tub with water dishes\substrate, I have seen some people house them all in one tub until after their first shed. What are the Norms? Also, After they hatch it's 7-10 days until they shed correct? Do you feed as soon as they shed or wait a few days after that ?

Ive never owned Rosy boas before. Might get into them one day.

I’ve tried a day or two after first shed but only about 10% took that early for me so now I just wait a week.
What temps do do you have them? Do you use a UTH, or a heat lamp on top? Do you measure the floor temp, or the ambient temp, or both?
Thank you in advance!

They are in the incubator for the first week so ambient temp is 87, no hot spot. Once they go in my rack, it’s heated with heat tape and the hot spot is set at 90, no other heat source. Ambient stays around 75 in the rack.
