i was wonder if u could have uro together or let them interact with each other? like hae all diffrent species in seperte tanks them have 1 big cage like in/outside and have them like c each other and interact being watched of course. Maybe even introducing a beared dragon for a lil bit. Sounds crazy i know but i think the uos can stand to see each other for a while now and then.

well there is nothing wrong with keeping different species of uros together but you just have to be careful that they are the same size when living together. some people frown upon different species living together because if they reproduced, it would be a mutt and there are way too many importations to start messing with mixing genes.
some people have reptile rooms where the different types of animals can interact but it is better to have, for example, a beardie and a uro in different cages

You may be suprised.
Even within a single species you'll have interaction problems. I'ts dependant on the species and the individuals. If you have teh cages for them to be separated, don't bother combining them. If you don't yet have your variety of animals, you'll need adequate caging for when someone "stops behaving".
Your primary indicator that something is wrong is that an animal is injured. Probably not the best thing to wait for if the mixing is simply for your own novelty and edification. Some animals will not recover from wounds and some may be outright killed. Vonnie got a hardwickii from me that was not working well contained with any other animal, but is otherwise quite nice.
Leave teh BD out, there's many other posts that go over teh interaction.
I have Uros that can see each other from cage to cage, and even one cage against a mirror. I haven't seen a problem with plain visibility, but I have had male geyri react adversely to the mirror (macfads haven't been bothered yet).
