To keeping leopard hatchlings in with sucata hatchlings?

not a good idea. Immune systems are not up and working at full tilt in hatchlings, and both species would suffer from the other's pathogens.

I do not see a problem with it. If they are CB, and have been exposed to the same environmental conditions, there is no reason to suspect they would make each other sick. In other words, if you hatched them, it should be perfectly fine. Also, general temp/humidity requirements/restrictions are similar.

If they are coming from different breeders though, you may want to keep them apart in case one or the other has been exposed to something.

Others may disagree.
