Question
hi there, i was just wondering if you could tell me if its possible to put a green iguana in with a water dragon or either any of those with a bearded dragon?
cheers

Answer
Hi Lee
  You have an arboreal lizard from the South/Central American rainforest, A tropical agamid from Southeast Asia, and a semiarid savannah/forest loving fence lizard from Australia.  Three very different habitats, temperature/humidity needs, and dietary requirements, not to mention, they are all territorial and have different gut flora.
 For all those reasons, I have a standing reply to the many times I've been asked this.  It is never a good idea to mix species, ever.  For each one's health and well being, each should have jis own domain.
