A Uro and beardie have different husbandry requirements. It's never a good idea to mix any species. Bacteria is a problem too.

well its been done.. and fairly sucessfully too.. but i am going to say this, you will need a lot more experience with reptiles than you have, you will need to have a lot more knowledge on these reptiles and should have owned these reptiles in the past and they will need a huge cage... seperate eating areas, seperate basking temps because a beardie only requires heat to 100-105 and a uro likes heat up to 130 . they will need seperate hiding areas.. uros like to hide , they will need seperate everything so you might as well have them in seperate cages.. like i have told you before with water dragons.. it is easier to house two of the same breed together and even easier to house two in their own tanks.. no trying to sound preachy but i know you just recently bought you first lizard and i don't feel you are ready to start making mixing species.. heck i don't even agree on mixing species it is a very hard thing to pull off..
btw: how are your baby waterdragons???

for not housing different species together is..
Different species carry different types of bacteria. What one lives with naturally can kill the other and vice versa.
