Housing chameleons

Hello,
Can anyone tell me, or write a list of chameleon species which can be housed together (I mean in pairs or 1.2, 1.3 etc.). I'm not interested in pygmy chameleons :)
 
The answer is kind of all and none.

Generally- not a good idea.

I tried several species (jacksons, quads, veileds, panthers, oustalets, melleri) and found that although they did OK together, after about 18 months comparing my breeding results, I found that breeding dropped way, way down. To keep the peace, they shut of sexual behaviors. You also have to be aware of very subtle aggressive behaviors, appetite, etc.

There is some degree of stress from cohabitation for almost any species of chameleon. After trying it- can't say I'd recommend it.

If you have to ask, your experience level is such that you probably shouldn't try it.
