I have a large cage for my collared lizard with about ten square feet of floor space. I realize they come from similar habitats despite coming from different areas and was wondering if they would be able to be housed together without any problems.. i have one female collared lizard and a pair of agamas. Please let me know what you think.
thanks

No,
the Japaluras inhabit cool, humid and misty mountain forests.
Collards do live in hot and dry lowland areas.
Do you think that is compatible?
It definitely isn´t
So please do not mix these species.

Hi, I have and breed collareds and know pretty much what they need, and your agama dragon (japalura) needs a completely different setup.
Your female collared from a desert habitat, should have a basking spot of 100 - 105 and the rest of tank should be high 80's to 90 degrees. A shallow water dish, rocks for basking/ jumping.
Your agama is from more of a tropical cloud forest, should have temps of about 80 -85 with a drop at night.
He is an arboreal lizard (climbs limbs/trees) needs limbs and vines/plants , needs a water container large enough for a dip as they like to sit in the water, even have an air-stone in a shallow pool for them, they love it. Some people provide a water fall for them. They need higher humidity.
I hope this helps, and you can provide the right set up for each. 
Wish ya the best with your 2 friends!
