Default Mountain Horned Dragon and Chinese Water Dragon together?

does anybody know if this works. the chinese water dragon is about a year old and has been on his own for all this time. it's my friends by the way.

he is interested in getting a mountain horned dragon to livein the same viv. has anyone any knowedge on if this would work.

the horned dragon is in the pet shop with some baby water dragons at the minute but the people at the shop seemed pretty clueless on the subject

Providing a stric quarantine and parasite treatment for both species,and not introducing specimens with a too big size difference,i see no objection whatsoever ,in a large or very large viv (i would say,for a couple of both,8ftx4ftx6 ft). :wink: Hides are also crucial,because both these agamids are really nervous and subject to stress.

Just one thing worries me-if both species mate,how will you recognize the clutches from each of them,they may look quite similar,think of this :wink:
