I have 1 male teenage, not sure how old, nosy be and 3 female nosy be panthers. In late January my mum put my male in with the females and he bred with one of them. She is now starting to lay and I was wondering whether the eggs/ babies will be okay as he is the same size as her.

I can't speak about the babies, however you should not be housing all those females together in one cage. Each chameleon needs it's own separate cage which is also visually separated from those next to it. Please let us know if you have any other questions, because perhaps your husbandry could do with a bit of a touch up.
 
Sorry the Female is unknown and the Male is Nosy Be. Didn't mean to say that she was a Nosy be

Off topic but I wonder if that hurts her? Where he is grabbing lol. He looks excited and happy and she’s just like get off me. (I’m not saying she is unhappy or anything but if I were to see this and have no knowledge then that’s what I’d think in my head) I find the picture funny cause the other one has it’s head just popped in, in the corner and I’m thinking she’s like uhhhhh ok weird. 😆 I’m sorry my descriptions are horrible I don’t know if you understand what I’m trying to say. But back on topic yes, definitely need to be separated with a visual barrier ASAP! As for the babies you’ll need to provide them a suitable home as well once they hatch, they are from two different species I’m assuming so that’s also something else, the eggs need to be incubated correctly as well, there’s a lot. I don’t know much on breeding so definitely have someone else touch more on the topic of babies.

You said she's starting to lay...did you mean produce eggs?
Do you have a lay bin in her cage yet?

Females definitely need to be separated ASAP.
 
She laid 26 eggs yesterday and she is doing well.
I provided a deep laying bin and she started digging straight away. I have a clutch due to hatch next month and we have a 45x45x45 Exo terra for them.

I am pretty sure they are not two different species, possibly different locales. The person we bought the females off of, said they didn't know what they were.
