newbie question

[Perceus]

Do Chameleons like company of other chameleons? If so...is it better that they are very young and grow up together?

Well, there are a few species that can be housed together like pygmys and some members have housed Jackson's successfully also, but in general the answer is no. When they are babies they can be housed together but as they get older and into adulthood they need to be housed alone. They are really solitary creatures. Housing them together can cause stress and fighting.
