Has anyone ever heard of any thing like this or think it could be done?

I agree with all of you that there needs to be more breeding of both of these. I dont think that Brookesia is even allowed to be exported anymore. And if this is so its really to bad that more of these werent captive bred to keep them in the hoby. But it seems that there has been a good amount of intrest in hobyists to keep pigmy chameleons in tanks with there frogs. So I think if thought out and done right it would be a worth while thing to persue.

ps. Ive even seen gravid pigmys for sale that werent much more then non gravid ones.

I think Josh makes a good point about keeping the humidity at a level that would be acomidating for the chameleons but also hight enough for the mantellas. This would have to be monitered and figured out.
A full grown Mantella should be quite the job for a chameleon to tackle but i would say there is always a chance they might try to snap at them. But keeping them well fed with smaller more managable prey I would expect lower chances of that happening greatly.
I found this on another webpage on Brookesia. "Other Malagasy species with similar requirements can be housed with Brookesia in this sort of vivarium, provided there is sufficient space. Mantellas can add a splash of color, reed frogs (Heterixalis sp.) can add some nighttime activity, rain frogs (Scaphiophryne sp.) make interesting but seldom seen additions, small Uroplatus and Phelsuma can also be added." http://www.chameleonnews.com/year2002/s ... kesia.html That site has some good info

I got two R.brevicaudatus at the reptile show today. I picked up some pin heads on the way home and sat in the parking lot and watched them eat them. So im pretty pleased they were eating. I know they can be very senitive so I think that is a good sighn.
