yes, i think normally babies are fed flightless fruitflies and their enclosures are shorter and wider because they're still learning to climb and will fall a lot and if they fell from high up they risk getting hurt.
those eggs don't look very good but i've read in quite a few places that people have left bad looking eggs in and some of them hatched into healthy chameleons.
maybe you could set up a sanctuary or something with that wire they use for chicken fences because then nothing can get in to hurt your babes and you could control their diet to a certain extent. then in the winter you could have a way of heating them or just bring them all back inside to your...
i would just use paper towels because all you have to do is take them out and put new ones in when you want to clean it; but you'd have to change them often otherwise bacteria will grow fast. ;)
:confused: how many eggs do panther chameleons lay in one clutch because I've read loads of different things on different websites and how many babes can you keep together :confused:
