Beardies toxic to uros? interesting question needs answers....

Okay... so I've been hearing from a uromastyx mailing list that bearded dragons have something in their normal gut flora that can be fatal to uromastyx species (yet another reson not to mix these two species!). But... no one can tell me what it is! Now, does anyone out there happen to know anything about this or have any references? Or, does anyone have access to a good herp vet who might know about this?

I'd <b>love</b> to be able to tell people this when they ask if these two species can live together (you can beat people over the head with stress and different temps/environment and some still won't listen... "but, they both live in the desert!" ), but I don't want to be passing around something that's innacurate.

So, let me know if you've heard this too, or know of references (internet, book, paper, or person).

Thanks
Dawn
