Only way you could do it is if the aviary had two sections or you gave it two sections with wire or wood so they could go side by side or the pythons above the dragons, but would advise against it. |

I mean for example full grown EWDs and a pair of diamonds? I dont keep anything together at the moment I have the avery split in half with the two diamonds in there but i want to expand the avery to be about the size of peterjohnsons or bigger and i would prefer it to be all open so i can walk through in stead of all seperated.

Thought so. Thats cool i will shape the enclosure into a top and a bottom then with a center walkway so you can just look up to see the pythons above you and the lizards either side of you.

I've never heard of them living together but I don't really know much, it may have been done before.

Dragons will attack diamonds. There will never be peace between them, just stress, stress and more stress. Even with wire between them you will have problems as they can still see each other. This will stress the dragons and you may have your diamonds striking at the wire, trying to get dragons.

I have heard that a common practice to get beardies to extend their beards for pics is achieved by the introduction of a python? Perhaps OK for the odd pic, but to live together I would imagine a little stressful? |
