Mali uromastyx and a beardie????

[biggins12]

I have a beardie and really want a Mali. I know of all the possible issues of keeping them in the same enclosures so I won't. But would they get along if I have them both out at the same time? Also ( I can't do it anyway but) would it be possible to keep them together in a large enough enclosure? I won't do it just curious.

Does anyone know of any lizards that will get along with a beardie?

i would say no.

i have seen videos of beardies with iguanas. but i personally wouldn't chance it.

bearded dragons are territorial, and mine have attacked non-living things that resembled lizards or creatures close to their size.

you can try introducing them to eat other by holding one next to the glass while the other is in the viv to see how they react to each other.

Thanks. Do u think I'd have a better outcome if they were both babies when introduced. Also even though different species might being different genders have a better outcome?

 

[bunnyrut]

i think so. when they grow up together they seem more used to the other one always being there.

Thanks for the help

Not only are dragons territorial, they are solitary animals that do not enjoy living with other things they see as competitors. If something inferior to them is in the tank with them, what do they do to it? They eat it. Cohabitation is risking the lives of your pets, unfortunately.
