Question
I am setting up a terrarium where I work and need to know if a senegal and water dragon can be placed together.

Answer
Hi Susan, Chameleons are very poor candidates for any type of community tank, they really don't even tolerate the presence of another chameleon very well. They are highly prone to stress related illness and mortality and need to kept solitary with as little handling as possible. With both your animals being arboreal and diurnal (active during the day) the resulting interaction, food competition and stress would be particularly high.
