I see what you are saying.Part of the reason for trying curly tails is they were reasonably cheap and healthy animals.You are right about different temperature requrements but they are in the room with the chuckwallas and uromastyx.I was kind of thinking of them as a test subject to see if they could get along with smaller lizards from their own habitat such as collared lizards or horned lizards.They have been in with my female chuckwalla on a temporary basis and I saw almost no interaction but I did notice more trying to get out of the cage by the female chuck.They are seperated now and I don't plan to reintroduce them.In the long term I may consider putting them in with my pair of Saharan Uromastyx but only if I put them in a very large cage. I am concerned about mixing animals from different continents due to disease potential so I may not do it.
