Would Chameleons be kept with other animals? Like Ive seen in one pic a guy a had a cham with a Waxy frog? Could they be kept with frogs, or am I just asking a question were the Answer is no.

I think it would depend on the type of chameleon. Some chameleon species would see the frog as a food item. If you are useing pygmys I do not think it would be a problem since frogs like the type of cage setup that pygmys require.

Well the type of Cham I want is a Veild. Can you keep them with other type of frogs, maby like Red Eye Tree Frogs? What types can you keep with Pigs?

i wouldnt risk it with veileds because they are extremely territorial and will eat or kill the frog. i believe you can put them in with most pygmyes as long as they have identical temps and humidity. Pygmyes are not territorial i believe because i have seen setups with 2 and 3 pygmes in the tank.

No, don't keep anything with your chameleon.
Plain and simple.
Really no reason to go further and explain it.

First,

You have another thread going right now with practically the same question. Try to keep it organized and in one spot. I think you are going to get the same answers as in the other thread.

In my Opinion, Two different species need to be kept seperately in captivity, so as to be able to monitor the health and acitivity of each animal and make any necessary adjustments to keep them healthy. Chameleons are a demanding animal to keep... Adding another animal to the mix I think just adds too many more areas for stress/sickness/competition or other unforseeable incompatabilities you may come accross along the way. I think that the concept of creating an enviornment with the ranges necessary to sustain different speicies of animal is very intriguing... but is definately something to be done by an experienced Zoologist, with a very large area to use for the experiment. IMO You could never do this correctly with an enclosure smaller than a house, I believe it should be big enough for both animals to live, only encountering or coming accross eachother occasionally. Look at the size of nature.. then look at the size of the biggest Enclosure you could build... Not big enough. The idea is cool, but not to be attempted by the novice keeper. Create each animal it's own MicroClimate... I think you will be a lot more successful in keeping both...and you don't risk stressing them out. If you are new to keeping Chams... I would do everything as "by the book" as possible. Good Luck.

Absolutely not.
Pygmies and frogs together is a bad idea as well.
You are indeed asking a question to which the answer is no.

No dude. If you want to keep another species get it it's own enclosure. Veileds aren't compatible with a damn thing... including other veileds

I saw on one site that the recomended keeping a Pig with a Crested gecko.

On a diferent subject, Which Chams are least aggressive/territrial? I would like one that I can hold once in a while.
