Lacerta and a Plated Lizard

Question
Hi, i was wondering, since a plated lizard and lacerta's have similar climates, can
I house them together?

Answer
 I would never house two different species together, even if they e from similar climates.  Reptiles tend to be territorial and the possibility of fighting is too great.  And, since you'd have to quarantine them for 60-90 days, you may as well keep them separate.
