Are Jacksons communal?

[chamtrainer]

I am not interested in getting a jacksons chameleon anytime soon but i was wondering about this a while ago.....I know that Mellers Chameleons can live in groups so i was wondering if Jacksons chameleons can live together...if so then what are the combinations like? Can they be grouped as adults because i have seen babies grouped together? Here are maybe a few groups i could think of.

All males?
All females?
Both males and Females?

What size cages can they be in? Can more than one live in a 2 by 2 by 3? If so which kind of combinations and how many can live in it? What about a 2 by 2 by 4? Thanks in advance for anyone that contributes!

Jacksons can live together if the cage is big enough. A cage of 2x2x4 can house 1:1 easily if the cage is planted well and lots of branches which fully utilizes the interior cage space. I have done it this way for years with no major problems. Of course you will have to watch out for individual stress levels. Stressed animals will need to be housed individually. As you know, stress signs may not be easily recognized by the beginner cham keeper. So if someone is unable to recognize the early signs of stress, then it would be best to keep them separately.
I have kept two females together in the same size cage without any problems as well.
I haver never tried more than one male in a cage and I would not recommend it for obvious reasons.
