We have 18 hatchlings currently in 2 groups of 9, is this too many for now or will it be in the near future? They are about a week old.

I have always kept my hatchlings in groups of 3 or 4, in as large a space as i can provide. As they get older i seperate them further. Make sure to always have a steady supply of food, but sometimes they can get nippy even with plenty of food

3 or 4!!! Oh geez, that's a lot of lights! But I would feel so bad if one of my guys was nipped. I feed twice every day in a separate tank, then I leave tiny chopped greens with silkworms for them during the day. I'll see what I can do for more room, maybe I could divide the tanks I have them in now. Thanks for the input!

At the very least you should provide several basking spots, instead of having them all fighting for space on a single basking spot. Not sure if you have it or not as it's not noticeable in the picture, there should be places they can go to hide, to get out of the heat or sleep.
