Unfortunately, you CAN’T keep them together especially two different species. Chams are solitary creatures and must be kept in their own separate cages.

Chameleons arefound together in the wild. They do have a communication structure and social interaction. This is natural for them to have and if we are are being dedicated to reconstructing their natural conditions then social interaction would be one of those components. The challenge is that you cannot go half way.

Small geckos, anoles, frogs, small mammals or birds in the same terrarium/room are therefore welcome food. Be careful even with larger geckos like Phelsuma grandis – attacks from chameleons are also known for this species. On the other hand, larger lizards can easily eat small chameleons.

Chameleons, famous for shifting colors to blend into their natural surroundings to avoid predators, may also be using their chromatic superpowers for a totally different reason: To win fights. When male chameleons challenge each other for territory or a female, their coloring becomes brighter and much more intense.

When its around 8 months old it will reach sexual maturity, then it should definitely be housed alone. You will find stores where older veiled chameleons are still housed together.

Chameleons will open their mouths to feed and drink, like any other animal, and sometimes when it’s too hot as a way to cool off. If you have a chameleon and you see it often with its mouth open, you might try re-checking the temperature.

Chameleons are territorial creatures so they will attack any other reptiles that as much as comes close to them. There is the risk of your chameleon being attacked, killed and eaten by other reptiles, especially snakes.

Certain types of fruits can be a good supplement to a chameleon’s diet. Choose fruits that are high in nutrients and that possess a high calcium to low phosphorus ratio. Some fruits in this category are apples, peaches, blueberries, prickly pear cactus, mango, melons, bananas and cantaloupe.

Chameleons present very little danger to humans, and are generally a low-risk pet. However, they are solitary animals and should be usually given only minimum handling. The worst thing that may happen is they bite, but this is non-toxic and usually avoidable.

No chameleon enjoys being handled by people. Chameleons should only be considered as pets on par with tropical fish – great to behold, but not intended to be actually touched or held.

The tail will regrow, but it will not be a perfect replacement of the original, and if a lizard loses a leg it will never regrow. Frogs, meanwhile, can regenerate their tails as tadpoles, but they lose all their regenerative capacity after metamorphosis.
