My guess would be no for the most part. For one thing, you know that hatchlings are tiny and need pin head to two week old crix. With the amount of cover that you would need to protect them, they would have a hard time finding the crix without getting eaten themselves by the bigger lizards. Also, how are they going to be able to bask safely? A six ft enclosure is big, but it's still not the sprawling natural environment that gives them a fighting chance. Can't you just remove the eggs and raise the baboes in a separate enclosure?
