Can Bearded Dragons and Green Iguanas be housed together?

Question

Well I have a baby bearded dragon and two baby green iguanas and well like my question can they be housed together { Should I get another bearded dragon so he/she doesn't feel overpowered?

Answer 1

So many people have asked this question in the past and the answer is always the same - never house different species together. They have different habitats, needs and requirements.

Another tank is not going to be expensive to set up, just keep the bearded dragon seperate.

Answer 2

Hiya !

To expand on what Tempest said - these lizards come from completely different countries and environments !

Bearded Dragons are from hot, dry desert areas while Green Iguanas are from rainforest areas - completely different temperature ranges, humidity and climate.

Therefore, they CANNOT be housed together !

Answer 3

I would not house the two together. For one, iguana's are from a jungle habitat, dragons from a desert. Second iguana's can be very aggressive and also get 3x's or more larger than a beardie so that is not a good idea. Keep them seperated, especially since a baby beardie is probably a small fraction the size of a baby iguana. Also you don't need another beardie b/c they don't get lonely. Actually if you get another, it would probably be unhappy b/c they more than likely they will fight for dominance and food. getting another is fine, just keep them in seperate cages.

Answer 4

no never do that they live in to different enviroments and they will fight to the death
