Most people just keep the eggs in the closet. It's very expensive to have babies. Check this out: https://www.chameleonforums.com/cost-raising-69-baby-18467/

The closet works well as Jannb said.
If you want an incubator, you can try one of our sponsors www.lllreptile.com
They have a few to choose from.

Yea I've been thinking doing this as well with my panther. There is a local reptile store that I've made a deal with that would house the babies feed them and sell them for me for a 30% cut.( I however have to come in and actually do the feeding and cleaning)

If you decide to do this then I'd reccommend that you have a very well established feeder colony

And figure out some way to sell off/ give away the babies keep in mind that at 3 months is around when they have to be seperated.

IMO, you should only breed them if you are going to house the babies and take care of them yourself. If you are going to breed just to hand them over to a pet shop for a few bucks, then I think you are breding for the wrong reasons.

If i do breed it was going to be for the exp. of breeding and knowing the animal its self alittle better and i would prob. keep one or two baby's and sell the rest but no im not breeding for $$$ that makes no sence??

like i said...." I however have to come in and actually do the feeding and cleaning" and its not your run of the mill commercial pet shop just a mom and pop kind of place. all there going to do is supply the area and food for a small cut. im not just handing them over to a pet shop for a quick buck.
