Just to add to Robert's last paragraph. And I know there is a lot of anti-scientific bias on this forum.

But a recent study done in Rich Shine's lab in Australia measured the level of cortisol in the blood of lizards under different conditions. In lizards as in humans cortisol levels go up when stress goes up.

The highest level of cortisol (=highest stress) came from being kept in a cage with another species of lizard (closely related).
