Nope..... not a good idea.
We have crested geckos and flying geckos... but they have their own enclosures. The chameleons need to be by themselves.. no other "housemates". Even the frogs are in their own tank (species specific).

Some chameleons eat anoles.....
Most times, it is not a good idea to mix reptiles.

Sorry,

We have the chinese red bellied toads, some clown frogs, and emerald big eyed frogs, a few tomato frogs too... no dart frogs. Those are extremeky tiny when I see them in the shows and stuff. To be honest, I think they are beautiful, but I like them a bit bigger.

BAD IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry had to do it after your post below.

I wouldn't. I make sure mine feels completely alone at all times. That means no bugs at night too. Just him, his branch and plants, and a bit of humidity.

Anything else and I'd worry about stressing him - and I know these little fellas are easily bothered.

trust me - he is not at all lonely.

If you want another herp - then get another setup. the screen enclosures are cheap. the light bulb is cheap. if you do dont put them next to one another...dont even let the chameleon think anything is around him!

good luck
