So you've got two chameleons with obvious health issues due to improper husbandry, but your going to attemp to hatch and raise another 61? There are several things wrong with the way you're keeping your chams. First thing is the males cage is far too small for any veiled Cham. Lack of any horizontal climbing in either cage. Obviously the supplementation and gutloading is off. The chameleons shouldn't be within view of each other. UVB lights should always be placed ABOVE the cage not to the side. Red lights can be used for heat but there should be no light at night whatsoever. Theres likely more that you need to figure out too. I'd suggest you work out the problems with your husbandry before you bring another sixty or so chameleons into the world.
Edit: it sounds like they never had UVB light? That's quite literally the number one need for veiled chameleons in captivity, and shows that perhaps it's not best for everyone to breed chams.
Edit: do you keep the male and female together most of the time? You keep asking when you can put him back in with her.
