 Armored skink+BTS

A few years ago i had a blue tongued skkink and now my little brother wants to get a lizard. We were wondering if a Armored/Crocodile Skink and a BTS could live together if they were the same sizes... even for a year or so befor they big to the point they would need a new cage anyway... THANKS!!!

I don’t know anything about crocodile skinks but i know BTS are not social lizards.

I would not house different species together unless you had a tank for them the size of your house with plenty of hides.

Absolutely not, unless you want the armored skink to be eaten. BTS are usually born 3-4" long and quickly grow to about 15-18" the first year. Armored skinks stay what 6" their whole lives? Also, look at their care requirements. Dont really require the same environments!

no tht would not work out the blue tongue skink would out grow it quickly and bts dont do very good with other lizards they could take limbs off even they fight wit each other in the same cage(usually if breeding)and blueys need a large encloser and they require different habitats
