leopard gecko and bearded dragon

Question
i currently have a 55gal tank with a full grown leopard gecko and a subadult beardie. they have been living together for a few weeks now with out any problems. my only concern is when my beardie gets to be full grown  (they are about the same size now) will he end up eating my leo?

Answer
Dear Jacob,
thank you for your question.
The bearded dragon is absolutely capable of eating the leopard gecko and will almost certainly try once he's big enough, about a third bigger than the leo. I would separate them right now because it's possible that they try to prey on each other even now.
I hope I was of some help to you
