I just read this post by @Tom about soaking, which made me wonder what exactly is the purpose is of the daily soaking of hatchlings, especially when they're kept in a humid environment with a water dish. I did a quick search of the forum posts and while there are many about soaking, couldn't find any posts explaining the reasoning behind it.
I used to think that it helped prevent pyramiding, but then I'm a little surprised that @Tom would suggest decreasing the frequency as early as 100g.
I soak them daily until they reach 100 grams. At that point I start skipping a day now and then. By 1000 grams 2 or 3 times a week should be enough for most situations.
