I know that 2 cant be toether but I have a new inclosure and its 6x3x3 (feet)
is it possable that its big enough for the both of them?
I would also like to know this.
Of course it would have to be a FEMALE and a MALE of the same species.
I have the 260 Gallon Reptarium, which is huge and would have a lot of things to block vision and room to separate.
And you will need another cage for when the female becomes gravid to lay eggs.
Most articles talk about putting the female in the cage only for mating, but in those articles cages less than half the size are used.
Upon further reseach:
"Myth #3: Chameleons can be kept in small groups rather than individual cages.
Fact: Very few chameleons will tolerate the presence of conspecifics. A few of the tiny members of the genera Rhampholeon and Brookesia are notable exceptions but even then, two adult males should not be housed together. Virtually of the commonly kept species such as the jacksonii, pardalis, calyptratus, quadricornis, melleri, deremensis, lateralis, gracilis, dilepis, and even the tiny ellioti, require individual housing and this means visual as well as physical isolation from other chameleons. To the eye of the novice two chameleons might appear to be getting along but the stress is there and the result will be an early death. If you can provide a large, walk-in type cage, you might get away with it for some species but this is rarely an option for novices and should only be attempted by those with extensive experience in chameleon husbandry. Only experience lets you identify the subtle symptoms of chronic stress before it’s too late. "
