3 or 4 adult pygmies should fit comfortably in that size enclosure. Breeding pygmies is not difficult IMO. As long as they are happy with their environment; then they will most likely breed. Finding the eggs can be difficult especially if you don’t recognize a gravid female. I have cleaned out enclosures and found eggs on a couple occasions. Obviously catching a female making a nest is your best bet but sometimes a female will show signs that she has laid. If she is covered with substrate, looks thinner then she did, or looks really tired then she may have laid some eggs. Usually after noticing these signs, looking around in the general area may show signs of a nest. Sometimes the substrate where she laid the eggs will be a different color then the surrounding substrate. If the eggs do manage to hatch in the enclosure, I really doubt that they would get eaten by another chameleon. I would be more worried about loose feeders attacking it then cannibalism.
