bearded dragon possibly getting a friend...

Question
I need to know if there are any other reptiles that can be in the same enclosure with my bearded dragon. We've been thinking of getting another lizard, but only if they can live together.

Answer
Unless you have a large enough enclosure which is 100 gallons or more I wouldn't try to house another lizard in the same enclosure.  Given that you have a large enough enclosure the other thing is that I would only get another beardie of the same size and different sex as males will fight.  Also beardies will eat smaller lizards too. You will also need to provide multiple basking and feeding areas as one beardie may become dominant within the enclosure.

Hope that helps
