Neonate Jackson colors?

[LiloandYoda]

Hi all, I am new to the chameleon world. I have two beautiful Jacksons ones Male and the other Female. I have a question about there colors? I house them together in a 18X18X36 cage, there brown most of the time but when its bed time they turn a nice green. When will they stay green? is it because it could be stressful with them together, instead of their own cages? Their both 3 months old.

Yes, they will stress each other if kept together in a cage that small. Separate them. The brown color is a sign of stress in older jax. Very young jax are not really green most of the time. It is normal for them to turn a paler green while asleep, but depending on their age they may turn brown when awake. As adults they should be green.
