Would it be ok to....

[DuWeech]

House a male and female Jackson. Ok I have an 8 month old male jackson in a 100 gallon reptarium I think the measurements are 16.5" deep x 30" wide x 48" tall. I have a hanging pothos vine, a hibiscus and a pretty large gardenia, so there is tons of foliage. Plenty of bio vine around as well. If its ok to house them together are there any precautions I would need to take?

No.
It would not be okay.

The consensus will tell you no. And I would have to agree. Having started with both male and female in a single cage, I have found that they both did better in their own individual vivs.

I agree the male would be on her all the time. Very stressful for the female and the male when she isn't very receptive and she stars kicking the $**T out of him.

That would be a definite 100% NO.
Chameleons are, by and large, solitary animals that do much better in their own space.

I agree with the others. No is the only answer.

Thanks all, I was just confused. Most books i have read say that its ok to have a male jackson with one or even two females.

Husbandry practices in this hobby have come a long way since a lot of those books were written.
For current information, these forums are the best place to do your research and ask questions.

Abusive relationships have never proven to work out in the end

Edit: Again welcome to the forum and don't keep a male or female together... too stressful for both parties.
