Generally speaking, most reptiles cannot live with other reptiles unless they are of the same species. Even then it is difficult to mix reptiles of the same sex or different species. If you are looking to keep multiple reptiles in your home then talk to your vet first. Some reptile owners have found that it is possible for reptiles to live together, but there is a process involved. First, you don’t want to choose a desert reptile and a tropical reptile as they will not be able to stay in the same habitat. Second, consider demeanour and predatory tendencies of the reptiles. You don’t want two territorial reptiles or you will have trouble. Size, captive requirements, and diet are also important when it comes to choosing two reptiles to keep together. You may find in the end that it’s worth keeping two separate habitats than combining them. Learn more tips from your vet Derby.
