If it were me I would leave them be and keep the well cover open just a bit so when they do hatch they are able to get out easy. They won't all hatch at once, and will scatter for food, and won't hang out as a family. You might have a couple that will stick around but you will hardly ever notice them. Obviously your yard or neighbors was the mothers home turf, when was the last time you saw one on your property?

I never saw them on my property. I saw one under a neighbors outdoor storage bench when it was removed from her garden. Also another neighbor two houses down removed three from a sprinkler box
