That is an interesting approach to raising baby chameleons. I am looking forward to watching the video when the video airs on YouTube.

Do you mean the approach of using the adult size cage for a single hatchling? I actually talked about it on the workshop last Saturday and brought on @SteveH who raised two Calumma brevicorne hatchlings individually in adult size cages. If that is the approach you mean, you can read, listen, and watch details about that strategy right now at this link: Cage size for hatchling chameleons
I'll touch on it in tomorrow's video and saturday's live workshop, but it will just be covered at a high level. The link I posted in this comment will be more meaty. Obviously, when breeding and getting 30 eggs this is challenging because of space, but I always raise as many in adult cages as I have adult cages available. I enjoy it and they do very well. It is my favorite way to raise hatchlings. It really is easier to get it right because of how much more space you have to create gradients and microclimates.
