Re: Leopard Geckos & Bearded Dragons

You were very lucky!
My Leo was walking on the shelf and walked passed my Bearded Dragon tank.
There was no mistaking the attitude of the dragon.
It wanted to eat it.

Re: Leopard Geckos & Bearded Dragons

excuse me for sounding harsh, but you're lucky that nothing happened. Bearded dragons love to eat all kinds of things including lizards. Many keepers sometimes feed their Bearded Dragons feeder anoles and house geckos, and that leo would most definitely be a delicious meal to him. It's never a good idea to mix species, but it's an even worse idea to mix species of different sizes. Even an iguana, though not omnivorous would attack a small lizard. Please think carefully before attempting something like that again.

Re: Leopard Geckos & Bearded Dragons

Geckogirl, I understand where you're coming from. I, personally, would love to have a true wild environment set up where I could house several different species of reptiles - and maybe some insects - and watch them all interact together. But I think that's just going to have to be a vacation idea at some point in the distant future.

Also, as caring creatures ourselves, we pass our need to make friends on to our beloved pets. We want companionship, so we assume they do as well. But they are solitary creatures who really don't have the capacity to emotionally bond to other animals. Putting them together generally just puts them in a situation where they feel they are competing for food. Putting two different species together - especially when one is carnivorous or omnivorous and the other is small, pretty much sets them up to react in a predator/prey manner. They tend not to last long.

I wish it were different, but then, if it were, they wouldn't be the wonderful creatures we've all come to love so much.
