Back when I first started out several hundred years ago, I combined two clutches of brevicaudatus eggs in the same container and like yours the clutches were laid about a month apart. When the older clutch started to hatch it triggered the younger eggs to hatch prematurely. Needless to say the younger eggs/hatchlings were underdeveloped and I lost them all immediately. Since then I always had separate containers for each clutch of eggs. It may not make a significant difference to the health of the babies in longer incubating clutches like the pardalis but it's not too late to carefully move the newer clutch into their own container to be on the safe side.
