Hi gang was wandering what your thought would be on this subject. I have an Indoor room. 8x8 room So there is pleny of room for a few dragons. I was wandering is having a Desert Tortoise in the room. Do you think they would be two stressed Dragon or tortoise. Or would the tortoise just make for a moble basking spot. Let me know what you guys think. Take care and enjoy whats left of summer.

It is never a good idea to mix species, especially tortoises and lizards. Both animals carry bacteria and parasites that could kill the other.

I totally agree with the above post... but to add, once a dragon got used to the tortoise & stayed put when the tort walked up, the dragon will have a chunk out of it. Not a good idea.
