whats the reason they cant be put together?im not going to but iv got a female yeman at the mo but id realy like a male can anyone give me some advice on how i can keep a male and female?thanks johnNo, no way.
Chameleons are solitarty and territorial-especially Yemens. They only come together in the wild for mating and then go their separate ways. To keep them together in one cage is forcing them to be together, stressing them out and potentially causing stress related health issues. Additionally, males will continually try to mate with the females again causing stress. Then, when the female goes to lay, she will be stressed and potentially become eggbound by the males presence. If the female is young, she will breed too young, and producing eggs robs the female of calcium for growing bones. Do you need more reasons than this?
No need for separate rooms-I use visual barriers between the cages. You can hot glue black plastic to the cage sides, or put pieces of hard plastic between the cages-anything that is waterproof. I even use towels.
My local rep shop has told me a male and female pairing would be fine
He has two of his own together

Who are you going to believe? A pet shop, who SELLS them for a living, or all of us who spend money keeping them because we love them? If you chose the pet shop, please don't tell me when your chams die.
Oooo sorry, that was a bit harsh!
I didnt say i had two... just said what i was told!
Compasion much?! What if i'd found this place after getting two? Heartless comment
Yeah, understood
I guess it just hit a nerve, bit of a stressy day... anyways
The health and happiness of the animals is definately top priority, or we really wouldnt get into keeping them
Good luck with your new addition if you do decide on getting one
