Can Different species of lizards stay in the same enclosure?

Question

Could I for instance keep a Black and White Tegu in the same tank as a Nile monitor? Or would they kill each other?

Answer 1

none of those should be in the same tank plus they all need HUGE tanks to boot the nile will need at least a room and probably the same for the tegus  

Answer 2

ummm no you should never have these two guys in the same tank that would be a fight to the death, it could be interesting to watch though.  but no should not be done and not to mention the size of both creatures when the get to be full size you would be lucky if you can put them both in a spare bedroom.  

Good luck

Answer 3

no u should never mix species

ok here's reasons u shouldn't mix

common problems inculde

Eating each other (its suprising what will at least try to eat what)

Attacking/ killing each other (2 animals that dont normally live together will sometimes fight.

stress (makes for ill reptiles just being near even a species from the same geological range can be stressful to these animals)(this is very noticeable in snakes but affects all other types of reptile and amphibian)

Incompatible toxins bacteria and illnesses (especially with phibs but is common with others 2 just cause one species can handle one type of bacteria/doesn't mean they all can these animals evolved in totally different ways meaning there resistant to different things, as for toxins many phibs and invert have these as defense mechanisms and can easily kill or make the others ill)
