I want to buy a chameleon
I already have two tortoises my question is can they live in the same enclosure in harmony?

I think you would have a hard time meeting the needs of both with a single cage. Their environmental needs are kind of different.

Probably not, chameleons are notoriously highly stressable creatures.

That can work... I kept rhampeleon breviactatus (hope I wrote it write :D) together with my K. homeana. But this chameleon is an earth chameleon. So I didn't need a higher enclosure.

"Old world" Chameleons do stress easily and they are very fragile animals.
They also need height and climbing places. Your tortoise needs a large base with lighting close overhead.
I'd also say no.

Ya I'm thinking no too
I looked up chameleons care sheet
I rather not bring an animal to my house then it ends up dying
I'll stick with my tortoises
Thank you guys for the advise
