Often a convienient way to raise up babies is to get a plant rack the one that has three wire shelves and a flourecant fixture at each level. Then get a bunch of the medium size opaqe or clear rubbermaid bins. Cut out the top center of the lid and replace with screen and place them in the rack. I sometimes also cut a square hole in the lower front on the bin to alow for a updraft and better air flow.

First of all at 8 month you should have at couple FF cultures going.I like useing mistking for 20-30 seconds shot every 2 hours. I start them out in a smaller tub .This makes it easy for them to catch food.A orange wedge in the bottom will help keep some of the FF in the tub.Once they are 4-5 weeks I remove the small tub and keep them in the larger tub and introduce pinheads. At 2 month old I move them to a screen cage.And all they eat is 1-2 week crickets and sm silk worms. At 3 month I introduce a 25watt basking bulb and move up in wattage as they grow!Im sure others have some great methods too,and will chime in .Good luck with your babies and keep us posted!

When do you seperate the hatchlings?

Female i keep in groups of 4-8 intill i find them homes. males get seprated at about 4 month or earlier if they start fighting.
