Question
would a chameleon and an iguana mate with each other


Answer
Dear Dashawn,
thank you for your question.
No, they are not even in the same family or suborder. Only species form the same genau may interbreed (like tiger and lion), but even that's the exception.
But it's still a bad idea to keep them together because they might stress each other, the iguana would be capable of hurting the chameleon most species ahev completely different requirements. It would also be dangerous for the iguana to eat the live prey of the chameleon, it can cause kidney disease even if he eats only very little each time.
I hope I was of some help to you
