I just got two dwarf jacksons (male and female)and at first they were in the same habitat and they never really bothered each other I split them up to be safe but the person that I got them from says that they can live together just fine. Does any one know if this is true

Depends on a lot:
How old are they?
How big is your cage?
Will they have duplicate basking spots? Hide areas? Lots of cover? Multiple food bins?
Who told you this...a successful long term breeder or a commercial dealer?
Keeping them together will stress one or both of them. The less dominant cham will eventually get stressed to the point of being sick. The male will constantly try to breed even if the female is not receptive. They could actually injure each other. In the wild they would not normally share a space as small as the typical cage. It is much safer and more humane to keep them separated.
I'm guessing there still very young the largest one I have is about two inches with out the tale. And the amount of crickets they eat tells me the still young. There cage is two and a half foot tall foot half wide and deep there's a lot of places to hide and only one basking spot. I cup feed them in one area. They never seem to fight or any thing but I'm guessing there still young
