I am currently keeping clutchmates together without issue. I believe aggression issues usually come up when they reach sexual maturity.

The most I would house together would be clutchmates. I house babies individual mainly so i can keep track of which babies are eating/not eating.

as for your question, If you have no other resources to house them in smaller groups, be sure to keep an eye on possible problem feeders. I personally wouldnt house male clutch mates past 20 grams. But thats me

I am new to leopard gecko keeping, but have a variety of other reptiles. My babies go in their own shoebox tubs after a week or two. I agree with only clutchmates together. As Ehatcher stated, to be sure each is eating. Also getting their supplements and pooping normal.

I'm just not a fan of community housing. They might get along fine- until one day. Anything can happen.
