Tankmates

GD88 · 11-04-12, 06:43 PM

Recently I got a uromastyx and I have been looking at info about them. I keep seeing people housing uros and other things together like bearded dragons and tortoises together. Are either of these suitable tankmates? are there any besides them? Or I shouldn't house my uro with anything else.

you shouldnt house different species together and though there are successful pairings of FEMALES cohabiting, it can still lead to aggression between the 2.

From what I know of most reptiles, it's generally just better to house them separately. It can be made to work, but I don't see any reason to try to force it and hope it does. I'm sure your uro will be perfectly content by himself.

I forgot to mention that the enclosure would have to be big enough for both (even if they're females) to have their own space,

That being said I have my Lacertas in one tank as a pair without incident

The simplest answer is no.

I agree! I personally would never house 2 different species together not a risk worth taking
