 Stress?

I have a question.

I have 1 Male Chinese Water Dragon right now he is 2ft long
The 2 Green Anoles I have can not see him right now and are doing great. However I think I will have to do some re-arranging with cages.

I am getting a Male Veiled Chameleon soon and that would be in perfect view of them.

Chameleons are very territorial and easily stress with views of other lizards and I think he will stress the anoles.

My question is because I will have to re-arrange the vivs would it be best to have the Chameleon in the view of the Anoles or the Dragon?

I know the Dragon and the Chameleon seeing eachother they will go nuts...

Im still trying to think of a way to re-arrange so nobody can see anybody but the house is only soo big.

So should they be able to see the Cham or the Dragon?

Will it stress them a lot? I dont want to cause them any stress.

I will try my hardest to make it so nobody can see eachother but if I cant what do you think is the best solution?

Thanks

Anoles have remarkable eyesight and may become stressed if they see anything that they deem to be a predator.

They used to have view of the younger CWD and never had a problem but he was sick and not so vicious like.

But Chameleons are vicious when it comes to other lizards and Water Dragon Diego is a jerk who wants to attack anything. LOL I love him but he is a monster

So you think its best to just try and avoid it all together?

Maybe I will do a test day or two and see how it goes.

I agree with dogluver4. just buy some screens and try putting them up between the vivariums and see how it goes. I currently only have 2 green anoles but if i did get another reptile of a different spices than i would either keep it on a totally different shelf or i would try to buy screens for the middle. but if you cant find any i would sugest i dont know maybe paper? I have never attempted this but you might also be able to use peices of cloth. I would ask atrax, twilightrealm or coolguy... I wish you the best of luck with your new pet! Now please enjoy all the smilys!

yeah try to block them from seeing eachother thats a great idea unless you put the 2 cages on different shelves!

LOL

I sorry I just checked this I had to laugh at the "different shelves" thing though

Not to make fun of anybody but the cage is 6ft tall 6ft wide and 2ft deep... it doesnt fit on a shelf :D
The other cage in questioning is a 4x4x2ft cage... it doesnt fit on a shelf either.

But I will try my hardest to re-arrange... I may be able to move the anoles rather then move the big cages....

Thanks all
