Housing multiple adolescent chameleons

[Ethen44]

Hello everyone I recently purchased 3 Ambilobe Panthers, (thanks Lance!) and had a question about temporary housing for the three little fellas. Currently I have 1 cage (36"/18"/18") with 2 different dracenea plants, and one golden pothos. There is also multiple basking spots. These chameleons are roughly 2 and a half months old, and I was wondering how long do I have before the begin to get stressed out in one another's presence? In other words, how long do I have before I absolutely need to get my cages built?

Thank you

Males or females?

Hi im wondering what your ambient temps are as you say you have multiple basking areas in what seems like a relatively small cage. Do they have somewhere they can go to cool down?

i think you should only keep babies together but i think they will be alright for a little while, but you should defietly get some more cages real soon

I agree. I seperated my babies by 2 months old.

Depends on gender, but I have seen experienced people keep them together for quite a while.

If they are males I'd say 3 month mark max. They are prob already starting to get kinda pissy with each other by the 2- 2.5 month mark. If they are sibling males and havent been seperated ever before then you may have a little more time but I wouldnt push it much past 3 months. Females I would still seperate by 3 or 4 months at latest. Thats jmo.
