Separating at 1st instar?

[mschemmy]

My H pulchripes spiderlings are progressing nicely. They seem large and very active for 1st instar. The sac was produced on 2/15 and I pulled the sac on 3/15 and they were ewls (first picture). As of 4/1 they are very active and are a nice size for 1st instar (second picture). Am I able to separate them at this point or will it be a problem?

No, they would do best in the incubator

There's two choices separate them now or monitor often until next molt. I do not know with this genus/species if/when cannibalism starts

Considering there is a low amount of spiderlings probably separate them now. That's if they show any signs of cannibalising each other.

If this was a species that produced a lot of eggs then I support letting nature taking it's course for the best/strongest slings.

Update:
Nevermind, what @cold blood recommends do that

Thank you. No food source or water source needed at this point correct? Wait until 2nd instar like other spiderlings?

Yep

Based on that pic, they're going to molt to 2i within a matter of days, anyway...
