Wow, I didnt think this would bring up so much anger and bitterness!!
What if the cage is a nice size? Then would it matter? My cage is 3Lx3Wx4H with tons of trees and branches. Camilla, my veiled...she is only about 3.5 inches long not counting tail, and she's two and a half. I am not trying to make excuses to put them together. If they are together in the wild, a big enough cage should be able to incorporate them in captivity. (although I think my cage wouldnt be big enough).

No matter how big the cage is another anything in the cage will stress her out it is not good, veilds are very agressive as well even if she is timid to you dont mean that she will be timid in her taratory when a intruder enters, you either gonna end up with stressd animals (will lead to death eventually) or total aggression, veilds dont have many types of chameleons that live in there area, and any of those chameleons that do come from the same area are not common and hard to get, any other chameleons are gonna need different requirements and putting another cham in is not good, that being said it is not impossible to house 2 females in a large cage but this will depend on the temperment and ability of the keeper to know what sighns to watch for, the odds of finding 2 timid veilds isent good. My advice is to not add another chameleon, keeping more then one cham in a cage even with same species is dificult. for the benifit of your veild (or the cham that would join her) i would suggest against it

sorry guys. I messed up big time with the hybrid infertile deal.
Thats what happens when you listen to other people without trying to find out for yourself.
Anyways my bad.
Learn something new everyday.

If you want more then one chameleon so bad just buy or build anouther cage for it. Simple solution to that probleme.

peace

I agree with what Gregg M says but I do not understand then why he has Gaboon/Rhino crosses which is a hybrid of the two species. Just a thought

Hey dennis,
Good question, and it deserves a good educated answer.....
The gaboon X rhinos I own are wild caught and are not being bred at this time......

Also gaboon X rhinos are natural intergrades that breed with quite a bit of regularity all over their natural ranges..... The cross may very well be subject to its own species classification because of the populations of them found within and outside of their overlapping range...... We shall see though......

Even inthe wild where chams have all the space they want (usually) they will still fight over territories, chameleons are for the most part solitary, period.

She is very mean to me too, so I doubt she will be friendly with other chams either. No room for another cage in my house, so I guess that answers that.

Whatever the case, two chameleons of opposing species or not generally should not be housed together. Although there may be one or more species of chameleon in a particular area of the world, they are not confined to a tiny enclosure together.
