BAD idea all together! I have had a pair of redeye tree frogs for 4 years, if you have ever held yours or most frogs for that matter they secrete toxins from their skin.
This gives you a sort of burning feeling until you wash it off. Just try touching your eyes someday after holding certain frogs.
Can you imagine the chameleon having to eat bugs that have come into contact with these toxins, or even them walking where the frogs were, or coming into contact with them in anyway.
There are many things to think of besides Toxins (which in and of itself is enough) competition for food as the other poster said. Different parasites/ dieases. Temps !
Better always in a confined tank space to stick with one species! In the wild many creatures coexist, because there is so much room, and they may never come into direct contact with one another.
In a tank, no matter how large WE think it is, they are forced to be together, with no escape.
Set up another habitat and enjoy each  ----- PHEve/ Eve
