Leave hatchlings with pipped and unpipped eggs, or take them out right away?

Last year, I took all my hatchlings out almost as soon as they were completely out of the eggs. However, I see several folks around here leave them be until they are all completely hatched. What's your preference and why?

I plan on leaving my hatchlings with their clutch-mates at first, but my first hatchling has disturbed the Hatchrite enough some of the eggs (both pipped and unpipped) are getting partially covered and it's making me rethink leaving them. Is the eggs getting partially covered anything of concern?

I leave them in for a little while after hatching. Last year, I rinsed them and kept them all in a large bin, with a couple water dishes and paper towels, until they started shedding, then I separated them.

This year, I went back to pulling them out after hatch, and have a chance to roam around a bit, and separating them.

I leave them and have never had an issue.
In the poultry world it is recommended to leave hatched chicks with unhatched to stimulate the ones still in the egg to pip. Reptiles and birds are very similar so I thought makes sense. I really should test the theory though.

It's only my first year breeding, but I separated them as soon as they hatched. Since they're so shy when they're pipping, I didn't want the fully hatched snakes to disturb the pipping ones. Plus, I was so curious to look at each one as soon as they came out.

I take them out after they have had a few minutes to adjust. Otherwiase they rampage around the eggs and scare/bury the other pippies. They go into individual set-ups immediately. I actually have a sticky down in my personal forum here about The Eggs have Slit, Now What??
