If it almost fits in the mouth, its going to get eaten, even if it doesnt fit down the pie hole.
CHams hate other chams and consider smaller ones food, other than 1-2 months a year.

The bigger is the female the small is the male.

Why are they going to be housed together? They will stress each other out, and will likely nip and bite each other. Is there a reason you can’t keep the male somewhere else until the female leaves?

A chameleon will at least try to eat a chameleon that is half its weight.
