Hello all,
My name is Zac and me and my fiance, Ashley, are looking into getting a Chameleon (she wants a Senegal but im pretty indifferent about breed) and we would also like 2 but I only have space for one enclosure, sorry if this question has been asked a million times (cant find a thread about it) but I would like to know if there is a breed out there that live well together without aggression or dedicating an entire room to the enclosure???

to the best of my research i cant find one other than a pygmy (much too small for my liking)

also is it possible to mix breeds?

thank you so much for your help I really would like to make an informed decisions about this for the sake of the animal!

pygmies are te only species you can house together, sorry.
i would avoid a senagal, as they are mostly wild caught, and have parasites.

some species can be mixed, like different types of panthers, but not recommended,

no veield and panther crosses.

 

[zkbuck]

ok, that helps, thank you

 

[camimom]

any other questions, just ask, this forum is full of helpful people!

and welcome!

 

[zkbuck]

[camimom]

[zkbuck]

i tend to have a problem with getting addicted to all pets :3 so im used to it

 

[camimom]

haha great!
and btw, you dont hav eto keep them in their own room.
you can even have cages next to each other.
just put a divider between so they cant see each other.

it comes down to space in our apartment, we dont have alot of space for 2 cages, but maby when we get a house we will dedicate a room

we have a 1 bedroom, and kinda alot of stuff since we combined everything after graduating college

 

[camimom]

pssh, all you need is 4 ft by 4 ft.
thats enough for two cham cages.

they only need a 2x2x4 ft tall cage.

 

[zkbuck]

we just have a really small space for now

then i hear free range set up!
hang stuff from the ceiling... no one uses that anyway.
jk jk.

 

[zkbuck]

i have mesured out the 2X2X4 section, and can make it work, the 4 foot would prolly have to go in the middle of the room lol

 

[zkbuck]

haha, thought about it but i know i would step on it in the middle of the night
