Complementary Reptile Buddies?

[Marcus]

Hi,
I'm building a nice tortarium for my three new one-year old juvenile Red Foots. Can anyone suggest some good other reptile that can share their space. You know, having the same requirements for heat, light, food, cage substrate, size etc. I've looked at Leopard Geckos and Bearded Dragons as options. Are they good and are there better ones?

Thanks!!

Do not mix. Even if the lizard is from the same area and habitat you are asking for trouble. This is the voice of experience. I once tried housing a redtail boa with my redfoots. In a short time it was a stump tail boa. A redfoot will accept any oppurnity to get protein and lizards will loss toes and tails.

NONE.. NEVER.. EVER.. like Itort said! Besides Bearded Dragons come from desert.. do they not?

I would suggest, Marcus. That you keep your red foot enclosure as simple as possible. Then Build an elaborate planted terrarium and get some new pets to live in it. Some times the plants in a terrarium are as fun to keep as the animals. I personally recommend small skinks. There are some that are very colorful plus they are easy to keep. As you build experience you can build a second one for something like tree frogs , or dart frogs. You could even put a few small tree frogs with the skinks or anoles.
