Is it safe to keep bearded dragons with chameleons ?

[storm.W]

My mate organise me a chameleon , but the cage that I have has 3 baby bearded dragons in it !
would it be safe to keep them together or would they just eat eachother ?????

The chameleon would eat up your bearded dragons.

[storm.W]

What if the were about the same size ?

[froot]

The answer is no! Do not keep different species together.

[storm.W]

Ok cool thanks for the advice !

The chameleon would eat up your bearded dragons.

Wow. I'd have figured it to be the other way round.

A Chameleon is much more of a hardass than people think it is...

They will literally chase anything away from their territory, if they don't eat it first.

[fredsmith]

Thats absolutely facinating!!
Who'd have thought of a Chameleon being the badass of the situation?

[insaniac]

They can fit a massive amount of food in their bodies as well if given the chance to...

Those 3 beardies would've been gone before weeks end...

[fredsmith]

Wow! I don't think I'll be looking at Chameleons in the same light again... Respect to the mighty Chameleon!!

I have also seen a beardie eat a sub- adult rat so it could have gone the other way depending on size.

Mixing species especially wild caught and captive breds from different continents is irresponsible.

[fredsmith]

What species out there, if any, are communial though BV?

[Bushviper]

You can keep species that occur in the same area which do not compete. With lizards it is difficult because they will feed on each other quite happily. Many lizards will eat their own kind too so even colonies of one species do not always do well.

you should try getting the animal all that it requires before getting the animal, lighting, cage, stuff to climb etc. that also helps.

Thats quite an eye opener ! The chameleon seems so calm and chilled ! Iv got a cage thas nice and big for it , how long would I have to have it in the sun for per day ???
