So I know there's this big thing about animals co excisting... well this is Koolaid he shares a house with his Buddy SunnyD. Anywho they also happen to rent the upstairs bush to Dumpper our tree frog. This pic was taken after we took all of them out to clean their house and do a bit of remodling. Koolaid just stood there and watch Dummper go back to his bush. My guys never fight or show aggresion to one another. Granted Koolaid looks dark in this pic but that's because he hates when we grab him. All in all I do belive they can sometimes co excist. If done right and given the space...
Sometimes they can be roommates...

So how long have they been in the same space at this point? The problem with co-existing isn't just about aggression! Creating the right optimal conditions for both species is a challenge, and even if you can do it you have to be aware that these two species never shared the same habitat (or possibly the same continent), and will introduce bacteria, skin secretions (the frog who will be climbing or roosting all over plants and other surfaces your cham will drink from), and even parasites that the other species will not have any resistance to.
Now, that being said, if you can show that both these animals can safely share a captive space for YEARS, and successfully produce young, you can claim they are OK together. Until then I beg to differ and wish your animals good luck.

They have been together for half a year. They share the same conditons and never cross paths. The frog only comes out at night only twice a week and stays on the ground where the chams are never at. He is captive bred and all is checked out so there is no parasites. Other then that he hides in his bush where my chams have no intrest of going.
He looks like he has found his lunch
Hahaha I doubt he would even try... he just watched him go back to his bush and went on to what he was doing.

i can see it working. chameleons of the same size can share an enclosure if its large enough and if they are all parasite free and never really cross paths then i can see that. i use to house pet lizards and snakes together but its all about size, health, aggression, space, and habitat requirements. i wouldnt do it myself with the chameleons and i dont really have any pets that can coexist.
