I keep my baby veiled's cages in the low 80's in the warmest part of the cage.

babies need to be keps cooler, id say 75 to 80max and the tank you described isnt going to work well at all, for more than 2 or 3. if you got more coming i would suggest doing a search about baby bins, it could help you out alot.
here is a link to a members blog with some good instructions on how to build some baby bins

ok i have one more quick question about the bin, do you think it would also be fine if i make a cage for them in a smilure way as the one they were bulding but insted off using a plastic bin they used to start the cage i could just make it with the same type of wire they were using to put inside the plastic but and not use the plastic bin so it would just be the same but without the plastic bin around the wire cage bult inside the bin ?

That could work, as long as they can't get out of course, and they have lots of stuff to climb all over it's the same sort of thing.
Welcome to the forum Here's my favourite caresheet for veileds - https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/chameleonsinmyhouse/395-veiled-chameleon-care-sheet.html
it recommends even lower temps for neonates, but there's more ways than one to be successful.......good luck with your new babies, got any pics of the cute little things ?
