IMHO…it would likely be best for the health of the hatchlings to hatch at the appropriate number of days (like nature should do) to have properly developed, healthy babies. You might find this interesting… “These results support and extend ideas regarding a constancy in the number of...

With female veiled chameleons in particular, if they are not kept in a particular fashion (diet, temperature wise, etc) they can produce too many follicles/eggs and become eggbound and develop follicular stasis…so as they approach sexual maturity, you want to make sure you control their feeding...
