New Jacksom

[Cham Man135]

HI I just got my new jackson in with my graceful. I know what ur thinking, Im crazy. But it is fine, they both have the same genes get about the same size. The only problem is my graceful is now covered with black spots. Whats happening!

Whats happening is the graceful is getting stressed out. The Graceful will also get bigger than the Jacksons. Not to mention passing parasites along to each other, fighting for food and territory, completely different husbandry and the list goes on.

Get another cage ASAP and separate them or one or both will be dead not long from know. Set up a little free range for one of them while you get your other cage and supplies.

Im not usually harsh about not putting much research into what you are getting because a lot of chams are purchased impulsively but damn, you couldnt have done an ounce of research or you would know those two species have totally different husbandry.

Do something about it now or you will have at least one dead chameleon because of housing them together. Do a lot of research on both species also or you will have two dead chameleons very soon.

Keeping chameleons together in the same cage is frowned upon, and keeping two differnt chameleon species in the same cage is really frowned upon. You would need a yard size enclosure to have a chance of making this work. Take the advice given so your chams dont get sick and die.
