Keep a clutch together?

once a clutch hatches can you keep that clutch together in the same tank? i have a 65 gallon tank and it is like a snake heaven... with heat pads on both sides 2 hide boxs and a the center is left for a cooling area.... i well feed them seperately... though just wondering

Nope, you seperate them after their first shed, with no exception. For reasons why, (and you'll find a LOT) do a simple search.

I'll second that. I kept a group of Corns together once & seperated them to be fed, gave them overnight to chill & then put them back together.
As soon as the first one back saw the second one back it grabbed it by the head & constricted it.
Individual housing from that point on. Many think it will work, but there are zero positives for the snakes & many many negatives, Mark
