No, they require different temps, the Uro needs a much hotter cage then the Beardie, up to 25 degrees hotter. Not to mention their diet is diff, Uros eat no insects. Then the biggest thing is possible aggression, I would imagine a Uro would do a number on a beardie if they got in a scuffle.
Definitely no.
For all the reasons already stated but also the simple fact a 70gal tank isn't big enough to house 4 large lizards.
Bearded dragons and uromastyx are not from the same environment either. Uro's like wide open sandy areas with rocky outcrops and vegetation. Bearded dragons are more hard packed sand rocks and forested areas. Ambient and basking temps are not the same either.

Definately not! That tank would be way too small...75gallon is a good size for one adult beardie. I have my adult female in a 90gallon and personally i think she is running out of room...
I did it before and its a very bad idea!!! I lost my poor female red nigerian uro, Lancen uros are a very gentle natured lizard than a beardie, I had my female in with my male the pair and then i figured i can put a beardie in there cuz they were in the same size range well the beardie started to grow faster than the female ero and then i walked in my room one day and the uros head was in the beardies mouth, she eventually died from starvation cuz she just wouldnt eat after that, im guessin some brain damage from the bite. a very sad day. so i hope that would deter u from doing it.
