Why keep hatchlings together until shed?

[MrLang]

I could have swore there was a thread on this fairly recently but I'm TERRIBLE with the search function (it always tells me there is nothing or the criteria are too broad).


Why keep hatchlings together in the same tub until they shed? Is there any reason not to separate them out of the egg box? Do people keep them in the egg box for a while for any specific reason?

I feel like I should be giving them some water in a bowl in the egg box. Yes?

Thanks
