Question
can i keep groups of  blue tongued skinks and bearded dragons together, with enough space, basking sites, area temp changes, etc?  

Answer
 It is never good to keep different species together, and both of these species are territorial.  For reasons of health and safety, the rule of thumb should remain one animal per enclosure.  The only exception is a zoo-sized habitat where each species has plenty of room to have their own territory, and plenty of hiding areas for females.
