As for having two different species together, Absolutely no. Geckos are usually nocturnal so as the lights go off they’re out and about and could wake up the chameleon and keep him up all night. It’s best to just house one cham in it’s own enclosure, they’re also very territorial.
Q. Can you put a lizard with a hermit crab?
They could, in theory, live with a high humidity reptile, but they have their own heat requirements and food requirements. The hermit crabs may also harm the lizards if they get too close. Hermit crabs also require a dish of saltwater and a lizard typically wouldn’t do well with that.
