I have a Bearded Dragon (Very Cool) but I just discovered the Day Gecko (Amazing Colors). Can I keep the two together? Will they get along?

Beardies need less than 40% humidity and a ReptiSun 10.0 UVB, while you would keep a day gecko at above 70% humidity and a ReptiSun 5.0 UVB. There are other differences, but just the humidity is HUGE. A beardie kept in the day gecko's tank would die of a respiratory infection. The day gecko kept in the beardie's desert environment would dehydrate and dry out within a few days.

this is correct - the only thing i would correct is that the gecko would not die in the beardies tank from dehydration, it would die from being eaten by the beardie long before it had a chance to dehydrate lol
