Yes they are WC -

I put them together sunday and they're still in the same cage as of now (two days later) showing no signs of stress or aggresion towards each other. I was even feeding them mealworms from my hand while they were inches apart, neither seemed to care about the other - as long as they got their worms!

Has anyone else left theirs together for an extended amount of time? If so, how long?

Thanks

Jackson's are one of the few species, along with other montanes, that can be housed in pairs or trios for life. Of course this depends on the individual chameleons, but conspecifics are for the most part compatible. Feeding and foliage are the main two things required for maintaining a successful pair or trio. The food so they aren't hungry and aggressive, and the foliage so they have their own places to retreat. I'd suggest plants with large leaves and lots of vines.
