There is probably a risk to one or both because at some point they might start fighting and cause a bite injury or a fall. Even females only want limited time with the males when they are receptive. Although I'm sure there is the odd chameleon that can live communally, don't forget that most...
I don't want to alarm anyone, but after studying those prominent horns, I don't think we are looking at a Jackson's Chameleon at all. I believe they have discovered a small species of Triceratops. After all, they did film Jurassic Park in Hawaii...:D
No, but I put them out to sun several times a week and soak their enclosures down really well. I am also considering keeping their enclosures on the screened porch for the rest of the summer. We have pretty high humidity.
Sadly the 17-yr and 13-yr varieties don't live in Florida. We have several other species that show up each summer, but never even approaching the numbers you are seeing further north. So, I am only able to catch one occasionally.
Here is a recent shot of the female. If she isn't pregnant, then she needs to go on a diet! Their happy colors makes their skin look like tree bark - complete with green moss and gray lichen. I almost didn't get them, but I am so glad I did. Both eat out of my hand and don't seem to mind...
Sang,
I just saw this thread today. I'm so relieved your son is ok. I will pray for his rapid and complete recovery. I'll also keep you in my prayers.

Yes, that's where I got them. Both of mine are eating crickets, but I haven't offered anything else yet. I suspect that the male isn't full grown because the female is quite a bit bigger. They are great looking chams. Let's stay in touch and if we both get babies, perhaps we could trade to...
I picked up a gorgeous pair of Trioceras werneri at the Orlando Repticon show. The female has either been eating too much or she is pregnant. They are so cool. I'll get more shots with a better camera this week.

Josh's Frogs has a couple of types. Also, most dart frog keepers have them and there might be some in your area who would give or sell you a culture. I wouldn't spend more than $8 for a producing culture in a 32-oz culturing contaner. The melanogasters species are smaller than the hydei, but...
I would make sure he has a decent variety as he would find in the wild. That will allow him to properly excercise his grip. I'd say from small enough for him to overlap his toes to large enough so that the toes don't meet.
