Question
i have a yellow lined plated lizard and i wanted to get another lizard i was wondering what otherr lizards are compatible with it

Answer
Dear Mike,
thank you for your question.
I wouldn't keep any other lizard with it. Co-housing diferent species in enclosures that are not very big (literally room-sized) is usually a bad idea. The animals stress each other because they cannot avoid each other and may even fight or hunt each other. It's also next to impossible to find lizards with exactly the same requirements and you just cannot create different climates in small enclosures.
So the only lizard I can suggest is another of its kind, a group of one male and two females works better than a pair because the famle will stress a single female very much.
I hope I was of some help to you
Jennifer
