Mixing different lizard species?

Question

I have four dwarf sungazers, would i be able to house them with some same sized lizards? eg anole, geckos, etc. They would be housed in a large enclosure if so.

Answer 1

no its not a smart idea. as it is reptiles are not social animals and could see other lizards as competition for food causing them to fight and bully one another

Answer 2

It's not recommended.....however I have done it and still do. Make sure none list lizards in their diet. Don't put geckos or anoles , but something that is close to having the same requirement and would naturally be seen together. I have a conehead lizard living with my basilisk and they're done fine for the past year.

Answer 3

I wouldn't.  even it they are the same species not all get along with peers.  Ask where you got them.  some might eat one another or fight

Answer 4

mixing should be under taken without year of experience a degree level of expert knowledge a great knowledge of the species in question and a fantastic knowledge of the animals themselves  

you shouldnt mix species from different geological locations

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)

even so called safe mixes can end badly personally i would tell u to stick to single species since its not worth risking your pets for some pipe dream
