  1. other rainbow skinks

    you shouldn't mix species really especially species from different geological ranges  

    just because 2 animals have similar requirements doesn't mean there suitable there could be issues such as:

    fighting

    eating each other

    being stress by the mere presence of the other in the same viv

    incompatible toxins bacteria or diseases

    all these could lead to ill or dead pets

    if you really wanna do something that most serious keepers think of as stupid mixing 2 species should only be done under careful monitoring for months and takes a solid pinch of luck and a viv at least twice the recommend size with multiple hiding places and basking spots

    its not something for beginners (some1 with less that 2 years experience)


  2. As the other answerer pointed out, if you do plan to do this, you have to be very careful. Make sure you have plenty of space and plenty of food available. Also, it will be better if you have plenty of experience with reptiles!

    Look for reptiles which have the same requirements and are from the same areas.

    Examples are blue tongued skinks, bearded dragons and uromastyx.

    Please do consider it as it is a quite serious decisions to mix reptiles

    good luck!
