Chameleons shareing a FR

[okiroo]

i have my FR's for chloe and clair sepreate but clair moved across the room with chloe when i updated her FR they are both female. one is a hoe and the other veiled. chloes area is more humid than clairs but both have 80 as their max temp and than lower it gets cooler. i supose it suits them both. clair hasnt botherd chloe and let her keep her space at the top of the tree. clair is on the chord and they are both getting UVB. when i feed them today they both ate like little monsters(as always!). she has the option to leave and go back home....so mabey she likes the company? i dont want them to be stressed but hoesnt to gosh clair is showing more relxed colors whens she with chloe. what do ya'll think of this? (i dont want clairs area going to waste!)

if they are both eating, able to get to the lights and showing no signs of stress. id personally keep any eye but let them be together. with the huge size difference when they reach adult hood. i would separate as the veiled will dwarf the hoe and id be afraid she could possibly think of her as a meal

thats what i thought! clair is an adult(never shown colors tho) im suprised shes not showing any meaness toward chloe at all. i've been watching them and they both seem happy. its so cute when i first got chloe she walked down the dresser over the bed and to clairs FR. now clairs came to visit her.


the size diffrence is crazy- its like this(chloe)--->{} (clair)--->{ }

Females often get along great in a FR. I've had 4 females in one room with no problem and still have 4 male panthers in one big area.

i love that i think her being able to see another cham gives her soemthing to "think" about and "cumminicate" with. mabey it will help them stay mentally healthy.

I keep my male Jackson's and male K. multi in a free range together. They hate being caged and I just tried it one day and it worked. So I set them up a large free range to share. They are hand fed so I am sure each gets the proper amount of food.

mabey some chams dont want to be lonely thats so sweet. i love that these chams choose to be close to one another. i wonder if the lack of viewing other animals(like they would in the wild) and other chams in general makes them feel the need to be close to others in case of breeding(obviously species cant cross and males cant breed males vise versa) but the company might make them feel safer.

They definitely get more stimulation in the wild. And I think our fear of stressing them means they don't ever get to see other chameleons. Most of ours don't really mind seeing each other - unless it's a non-receptive female or our male veiled seeing the other male veiled.

Our male k. multi was kept with the female before we got them. I separated them because she was mean to him and hogged all the food, even though she's half his size!
