Hi Tiki,
I think that's a good idea -- to have a place to put the female while you're collecting the babies. I took mine out of the cage right away.
Cheers,

Mine gave birth at sunrise. I hope you have the same good fortune.
[8 live born, one still born. I kept counting them to make sure they didn't hide somewhere in the over-sized cage.]
Best of luck!

I think Will is correct on the feelings of security. My free-range chameleons always wanted to be above eye level.
I also agree with Dave that you should get a timer. It's not only easier, I think it's better for the Chams. Mine would use the timer to regulate their day. They would climb...
