Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Ive read alot with uro's ive worked with them quit a bit but no one around here can answer my question with confidence. A pet shop by my house, houses uro's and bearded dragons together. both these are my two favorit rep's and i wanted to know if this is ok. Is there certain breads of uro's that might live better with the beard's or is this a totaly bad idea. i wanted to maybe house a pair or uro's and a male bearded. the 3 will be housed in 100 gallon setup. anyone thoughts or help will be much appreacated
thanx chris

i forgot to say all 3 will be yougsters on one being over 4 months old to allow them to live with eachother from a young age.

I used to house beardies and mali uros together, but now people say don't do that because of parasites. I housed a pair of mali uros with a pair of sandfire beardies. If you are going to house them together you have to take out the beardie and feed him crix in a container. And put in a lot of veggies in the tank so the uros and beardie can ge some greens. Uros are suppose to eat mainly veggies and only 3 crix every week. The only problems i think you would have are beardies grow a lot faster than uros, and hatchling uros are very territorial. I had to separate mine because they were really starting to attack eachother. Go to the below website for all the info you need on uros.

1.3 geyri (Fire, Flame, Sunset, Princess)
0.1 Pit Bull/German Shephard/ Lab/ ect. mix (Kodak) - looks like an over grown toco bell dog.

The other problem I would be concerned about is the distinctly different temperatures needed for the two different species. If it were me, I absolutely wouldn't do it. I don't think species should be mixed in captivity - there's not enough space to go around. But that's just my two cents.
