How to house babies.

[Zoey]

We are looking into breeding our female later in the year, when she gets a bit older and after we do some more research on everything.

But after the eggs hatch, how should the babies be housed? Do they each need their own cages or will they do okay in the same cage for a while? What size cages would be necessary? (They would be baby Veils. dunno if that makes much of a difference)

Thanks in advance for the help.

You can house maybe like 4-5 babies in a 20 gallon cage for like 1-2 months. Then they will need to be seperated into different cages independently.

I just searched "Housing Babies" Not too much came up, but I read them anyway. Personally I didn't see a whole lot about how the babies were to be housed. there was this link:
http://www.chameleonplantation.com
and I am currently reading through the information on that site.

you could also do the milk jug method.

Here's a good article from Chameleonnews. http://www.chameleonnews.com/babyexperience.html

Obviously, there are many ways but this is pretty in depth.
