You may keep several in a proper size enclosure so long as there is only one male in there and the rest females. Males are very territorial and will not tolerate each other. That being said if the enclosure is large enough for individual territories you may not have this problem but I cant say. I would say just be safe and keep only one male with several females. Again that being said do some research on why its not to good of an idea from a health stand point. If one lizard has runny feces there is no was for you to find out witch lizard is the sick one and if one contracts mites or ticks in no time at all they will all have them.
