Hey, questions about enclosures should be asked about in the "enclosures" area, and general questions in the "general discussion" section. A moderator will probably move this for you.
You can also find answers to commonly asked questions by using the "search" function. In this case, you could try searching for terms like "together" or "share". You'll probably find lots and lots of discussions on the topic of sharing cages, as it does get asked a lot, but except in the case of Pygmy chameleons, or incredibly huge cages and experienced keepers (that does not qualify as incredibly huge by any means) the answer is almost always No. Chameleons are a one-per-cage kind of pet. You may see babies kept together in stores but they have to be seperated out pretty early on to prevent aggression and food domination and that sort of thing. It's much easier to keep them healthy if there's only one per cage also, because then you can see who's eaten what, and tell whose poop is whose and so on. Even breeders don't keep them together indefinitely, they're only put together for a short mating period and then seperated again.
