Petco Can Do This?

Sooo I was at Petco and they were housing bearded dragons and frilled dragons together? I might be wrong but won't they kill each other over territory? The next time I'm there for crickets I'll snap a pic~

I duno, doesn't seem good to me. I don't like the idea of mixing any species together.

They SHOULDN'T do it, but I guess they can. They both require different environments. I didn't look into Frilled much before, but I'm almost certain that Frilled are tropical species and require more humidity than beardies can stand.

From a frilled dragon care sheet:

Frilled Dragons are arboreal lizards that live in tropical areas of Australia and New Guinea. They are distant cousins to the Bearded Dragon but share very few similarities. Frilled Dragons like being up high in the trees rather than on the ground. The New Guinea Frilled Dragon is the most commonly sold Frilled Dragon. They are grey in color with yellowish tints in their frills but can also have red coloration. Australian Frilled Dragons are larger and can come in grey or reddish orange on their bodies and red in their frill. They also have distinctive white cheeks and are hard to find and very expensive to buy. Occasionally you will come across hybrids of the two or intergrades of the different Australian localities.

So in other words, they have to harm one for the other to survive.

I saw day geckos and ball pythons being housed together in another pet store. I thought that was an interesting combination.
