Many species will congregate in groups - Melleri, montium, quads, cristatus. This is usually when territories are established, and everyone is "Cool". Forcing them into these groups doesn't work.
Chameleons are all social in a sense, they just vary. When my veileds were in a group in a large cage, they were very friendly to each other, the male respected the girls, and only tried to mate when they were receptive, and came to HIM. KEep them separate, and they never learn how to act.
Females have gravid colors for a reason, in the wild, males learn to avoid them when they show it. IF kept separate, male panther and veields will not stop, and will force themselves on even the most non-receptive female.
