Need Help- Bearded Dragon & Frilled Lizard

Heyo all, I've been wanting to know if its possible to have a frilled lizard and bearded dragon housed together as long as theres enough room for the both of them? I have a pretty nice sized tank but I'm not sure if it's big enough. The aquarium I have at the moment is 4th is 2' long, 1' wide, and 16.5" tall. Or should I get a 20 gal? I never owned either of these animals before ((I'm researching dont worry )) so I thought I ask people around here that would know :3

So far Im having difficulties in understanding requirements for the frilled lizard, any additional info on them would be very helpful :3 Thanks so much for your time and I appreciate any help. I'll be looking forward to your responses ^^

Hi Cassie....it probably wouldn't work out for several reasons. First, bearded dragons have a voracious appetite, and a long , dangling tail from an arboreal lizard like a frilly would invite a bite sooner or later. Second, the frilled likes higher humidity, beardies require a much drier environment. It may be just too much of a risk all in all.

Hello Cassie,

I've worked with both at the Bronx Zoo; their husbandry needs differ greatly; each requires a different type of environment. Also, when mixing 2 species, especially from different habitats, you run the risk that a parasite or pathogen that is relatively harmless to one will cause illness or death in another. The tank you mention is too small for a single specimen of either species. Frilled lizards in particular need huge enclosures with at least 3-4 feet of height, as they are stressed if forced to remain on the ground. Please see the linked articles for further info on both and let me know if you have any questions. Best, Frank:
