Question
i have a schneider skink, ive had him for about 5-6 months and i wanted to know if i have a big enough tank if i could put an armidilo lizard in as well? would they fight or would they be fine? what lizards could i put in with my skink?

Answer
 Most lizards are territorial, ans prefer no other aniamal in their territory.  And I'm even talking same species.  As a rule, unless it is a communal species, one animal per habitat, unless it is zoo sized and all animals come from the same part of the country they are native to.  So for the safety of your skink, do not get him any kind of cagemate.
