When we first got Ringo and Angel we had them in the same cage. Went out and bought Ringo a new home the other day. We seperate them last night after Angel went after Ringo. But this morning both of them are unhappy. Angel keeps looking in the other cage for Ringo. So... I'm just wondering whats going on there. Cant really seperate the cages because our light hood has the UVB lights in there for both and dont have the money right now to buy another light hood.

Place a sheet or something in between the two cages so they can't see one another ;)
 
I placed a pillow case between them. Think I know why Angel is a dull green. She started shedding this morning. Ringo finished shedding yesterday and a dark turquise green color today. Thank you for the advise!
 
I agree with previous post about putting the sheet between them. Chams can get stressed when they can see each other. sometimes to the point of death so its best to have something in between them. and you can share the light as long as they both have enough access to the light its not a problem. I would say that is the reason they look unhappy;) Good luck with the little critters they are very addictive hobby. Just like pringles "bet you cant have just one!"
best of Luck to you!
