Question
hey i've got a blue tongue who's about 18-20 and two baby bearded dragon there about 4 inches long can they go in the tank with my blue tongue or will she eat them.??

Answer
Hi Estelle,
Sorry to say, no they can't be housed together for several reasons.
The danger of the babies being eaten is one reason.  
Also the environment needed for each species is different which can cause grave illness to them.  IE:humidity needs of the skink will cause respiratory problems in the bearded dragon...
There is also the risk of disease.  Some species carry diseases that can affect other species.
Even same species in many cases can't be housed together. Bearded dragons are one of those species.  Two males will fight til death and many times even female/female will fight as can male/female.
Give them each their own habitat with correct uvb, humidity and temperatures and they will be happy critters!!!
