You mention you hatched them, then you ask what will happen in the future.
Normally if you have kept and bred and hatched something(some species of monitors), it teachs you that you cannot predict what will occur. It teachs you, that there is a goal to work towards. And hopefully if you make the right decisions, the goal may be reached. At least its a lesson you could/should have learned.

In this case, you cannot predict what will happen, it may work or it may not. If you raise them together, the percentage of working(success) is only higher. Raising them together does not ensure individuals will get along. When attempting to breed individuals unknown to eachother, the percentage of success is lower. Which means, the percentage of them fighting or hurting eachother is higher or simply lower or lack of hatchlings, is most likely the result. The results are over the longterm, not restricted to one clutch or the short term.you may ask more about this if you want

In any case, does not mean guaranteed success or failure, they are only different choices you have to make based on your circumstances. If the group you raised did not enclude a male, WHAT choice do you have??????? If I may be a smart aleck, what are your choices, to glue hemipenes on a female? As far as I can tell, your only choice if you have all females is get a male. Or sell them and start over.

Many of these rules that are passed around started with me. The only problem with that is, they are taken out of context. For instance, raising them together, resulting in both sexes, while it has not failed(yet) for me, it surely would not surprise me. Or raising them together, it surely helps, but is not 100%. Neither was ever meant to be 100% They were meant to be a better choice, and thats all. Consider what is good for monitors is good for their keepers, and thats better choices. Good luck
