A lot of good advice on this was made already. But I thought I would add that hatchlings need higher humidity than the adults. Eastern box hatchlings can be kept in damp peat moss. This helps a lot. They should still get a water bowl to drink and soak in but the damp peat will help keep them from loosing too much water and drying out too much.
