Chams living together?

[wormguy]

Does anyone know what the stipulation is for housing more than one Panther Chameleon in an enclosure together;male and a female?

males will fight usually till death / starvation / over dominated.

male will constantly pursue female and try to breed her. she will have a shorter lifespan from all of the breeding.

The stipulation?
The rule is: don't do it.

Get another cage... For all the reasons above. If you want to breed them and then keep them together, there is a good chance she will lay infertile eggs as just the presence of the male can iniate the development of eggs in the female, without even breeding.

Thank you for the input. I just thought that the males would only fight w/ other males but now I know.
