What are the positive or negatives of houseing lets say a panther chameleon and a vielded chameleon of the same size but different sexes.. Im not realy trying to breed I just like them alot and need to manage some space alittle better..

Hmm.. I'd say it'd stress them alot because usually if a cham see's another species, without being introduced properly, they get REALLY stressed. This happend to me once and I didn't try it again. But i'm not sure, that was only with me.

Only if they are in a really huge cage (like a greenhouse) with a jungle of plants so they never see each other. From your space issue that doesn't sound like a possibility. Two 2x2x4 screen cages next to each other with a barrier (thick towel, wood, etc.) would work fine. Then you are only using 4sq' of floor space.

Thanks all I didnt think it would be a good idea anyways just curious.. I have no floor space lol or wall space I have shelfs full of cages and cages all over the place it seems 1 room FULL and a couple enclosures in the living room and a couple in my room plus a long shelf full.

That's a major drawback to chams. They are not very compactable or stackable. You could put 2 visually blocked cages right togther on a table in the center of the room, but if the chams could see other active animals around them the stress would still be an issue.

I don't think it will work but you never know until you try. Veileds can be pretty aggressive so you'll want a back up plan like the others talked about. In my own experience I've kept multiple Jacksons in a 30"x30"x48" with expansive Ficus, vines, and manzanita and they get along alright. I've never seen them fight, they all appear healthy and eating readily, but I think they might be happier in a cage of their own so I am building more cages this weekend.
