Howdy
I recently noticed this comment on another board
And I wondered about the logistics of it... Perhaps you can help me work this out?
I currently have a Blue Tongue, Zero, who I call a Male but believe is most likely a Female.
Zero is quite passive, inquisitive and very patient (he would have to be to put up with the way my nephew pats him.. which he tolerates with not so much as a Hiss)
I purchased Zero on October 11 2007 and when I got him he was about 6-8 weeks old. He is between 30-40cms now, but its been a while since I last measured him.
Right now Im considering getting a second reptile.. and Im not a big fan of Dragons, my boyfriend already has two Lawsoni, but I like Lap Lizards. Soo.. I have my eye on a Shingleback.. but I dont know much about them, and cant seem to find much information either. From what Ive gathered, they seem to require around the same care (diet etc) and heating requirements as a Bluey does.. Thus brings me to the quote above.. if I were to get a baby Shingleback (which Ive heard arent all that small to begin with).. would Zero and the new bub be able to share the same tank safely? Or would Zero get protective of his territory?
Ive also heard Shinglebacks are very shy and can be cranky little pests and very difficult to tame..
Anyone able to provide some opinions or advice?
Much appreciated!

Shingle backs and Blue tongues will live together fine.
