Edited by Philippe de Vosjoli and Gary Fergusan . CiN , the Chameleon Information Network. This publication is dedicated to providing information about chameleons, each newsletter issue profiles a species and is filled with other relevant material. No, it is not advisable to keep more than one chameleon in the same cage. Although it might not appear it on the outside, in almost all cases, the sight of other chameleons is very stressful and can even lead to their untimely demise.
Breeding is generally the only time chameleons are housed together for short periods.
Hatchlings can also be kept together for several weeks before they get aggressive. Some have success keeping chameleons together with large walk in cages and many plants. Keep in mind these are huge cages. Even in huge cages males of the same species will not tolerate each other. This depends on the species.
