: : : chameleons with no ears can hear? Amazing. I only hope no one has taken your posts serious. A lot of harm can come from multiple housing bro.

: : Yes chameleons can hear to a certain extent regardless of the fact that they have no actual ear openings. They are known to make and probably hear low frequency sound that we often pick up as vibration or buzzing. Go to http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/5014/hoot.html to see a study about this is Ch. calyptratus. Additionally, low frequency sound waves (wind instuments, bass guitar, etc.) are known to irritate chameleons.

: What are u talking about bro. Who was right i new chameleons werent death i new they could hear to some extent. Also i have a pair of jacksons in a huge cage, their fine together ive never ever seen them fight or hiss at one another. Also the only reason theyre in the same cage rite now is because im trying to breed them. So y dont u chill.

Alex,
I was clarrifying that they do infact hear because Johneod and Paul didn't seem to think so (at least that is how I interpreted Paul's post, correct me if i'm wrong). I know you said that they could hear but you were told that you were wrong so I was making it clear that they did. As for cohabitation of your animals, I didn't say anything about it, Paul did, but i'm glad to hear that the cage is large and that they are only together for breeding. Keep a close eye on them!
Chris
