two chameleons in one cage

chacoantegu Jun 27, 2003 07:20 PM

I have been researching for a long time on jackson chameleons and i plan to get one in a couple of months. I also want to breed them but some websites say that they must be kept alone. So that i don't have to spend twice as much on two setups i was wondering if it is really that for me to keep a male and female together with a large cage. any personal experiences with them and tips or good caresheets are all recomended. What is a good breeder of them out there and are there any interesting morphs.

The only size cage you can keep a pair in safely is the size of an outdoor greenhouse. The references you read are correct...you have to house them separately. Chams are by nature solitary. They only come together to mate, but before and after they stress each other.
