"On a personal note (and I am aware of the potential risks.) I kept a male cordylus tropidosternum in with a pair of grandis day geckos for over 10 years. for some reason that is where he ended up. The particular pair of day geckos he was housed with produced eggs better than any other pair of day geckos I had such good production that I refused to move the cordylid lizard in fear that doing so would screw up my egg production."
Honestly, if that worked for you, that is great. No one can argue your experience and overall results. However, if you never remoed the other species, there is no way of telling if the other species had anything to do with your success.
For the most part (and not many will disagree) it is never a good idea to co-habitate species ESPECIALLY if they are not from the same place. It is commonly agreed upon that mixing species is not a good idea and there are many unnecessary risks involved. It is much more beneficial to just offer separate housing for each species. Pretty simple.
