@PetNcs said..."The strongest and biggest and most vital cbameleon babies I hatched ever were from undisturbed clutches laid in plant pots" ...were the pots left in the cages or removed? Was anything done to maintain the moisture level in the soil?

The pots were left in cages and watered to the need of plant to survive (Mostly Ficus benjamina) and grow normally. Adults were removed before expected hatch period.
