  1. a leopard gecko is half the size of a bearded dragon, and will be food in under an hour.  never a good idea.


  2. This equates to abuse.  The Leo will be petrified, and rightly so.

    They will not be pals/buddies/friends, but the Leo COULD end up being a snack for the beardie.

    Mixing species is never wise.  I'm not talking habitat mates, I'm talking about playing with two on your bed at the same time.  YOU are their friend.  They will not be friends to each other, and should be interacted with individually one at a time.

    Be a good owner, and don't put your animals under undo stress, and in harm's way.

    Enjoy your new pet, and I hope this has been helpful.

  3. Ok, for one it is animal cruelty if you feed a leopard gecko to a bearded dragon. The beardy would win (obviously cuz it is 12 inches longer). I would house each other separately. If you want to feed your beardy something try a pinkie, baby mouse.  

  4. You should never house species together. The leopard gecko is a mainly nocturnal reptile, that will become very active at night while the bearded dragon is diurnal. Their would be a lot of sleep disruption during the night. There will be a war over territory, and your leopard gecko may die because of it. The bearded dragon as an adult can hurt it a lot. Also, food fighting may ensue. The bearded dragon should not always be eating crickets, but will if in sight. The leopard gecko may try to get one but instead the bearded dragon would get it first. This would happen with any and most carnivorous lizards/geckos. No matter what, there will be a war over territory between species, so I wouldn't risk it. Also you would need two basking spots, but one would  take the wrong one as there is a huge possibility of a temperature needed for one different for another, and it may be accustomed to using it eventually.

    I could go on and on, but I really don't want to write an essay, so I'll end it here.

    Hope I helped.
