They can be housed together until their first shed (about 7—10 days).
After that you’ll want to separate them.
7 shoe box size tubs should only cost you around $14 check target or walmart any small tub with a secure lid will work.
7 small water dishes should only cost around $5-$10 if you don’t already have something at home that would work - check the local dollar store - petco has small dishes for a little over $1 that will work fine.
7 hides – you can use empty toilet paper or paper towel rolls, boxes etc. – they love these and they are free.
14.75 feet zoo med repti-cable - $16.00 (run it under the tubs you probably only need the 11 foot cable which is even cheaper).
Alife 1000 watt electronic thermostat with probe $27.00
Papertowels work great for substrate.
Depending on your budget there are other low cost alternatives but really - it doesn't cost that much to set them up.
Good luck.
