I wait until they are big enough to eat crickets that can't get through the screen. I start removing bigger guys from my baby bin, and leave the small ones in the bin. You also want them big enough that their tongues won't shoot through the screen holes, that could be a disaster. Depending on size, some may be able to move to screen by 6 weeks, some a little longer.

Yeah, you want to separate them when there is a noticeable size difference. Otherwise, the big guys eat all the food and the little ones don't get a chance to grow.

Be aware of the tails possibly getting stuck in the screen. I had never even thought about it before, but a breeder was showing me a veiled that someone had kept in a screen cage and half of the tail got stuck in the screen and pulled it off. I dont know if the owner pulled the tail off on accident or of the baby did it, but after seeing that I am more careful with babies in screen.
