    Is it safe to place a bearded dragon cage beside a snake cage?
    I'm getting a bearded dragon soon, and to keep some space in my room I was thinking of putting the cage beside some of my snakes. I have a Blue Eyed Leucistic ball python, A Reverse Striped California King Snake, and a Gold Dust Stripe Corn snake. Would it be safe to place the Bearded Dragons cage beside one of their cages? Would it bother the Bearded, or would it bother the snakes with the scent from the Bearded?
    Thank you,
    - Billy

    I would personally block the view from the other animals from each other. I had a snake stop eating when I had an iguana in view of the tank,:banana: moved him and perfect eating again

    This is very good advice, usually when reptiles can see other reptiles it will disrupt there eating habits. I had my burm when he was smaller next to a BP in a cage and I blocked the view because the ball stopped eating and once it was blocked he began eating again.

    Now... When they can see rats.... That's another story. :P it turns into feeding night every night especially with retics!

    So, I don't have to worry about the bearded's scent being a issue for the snakes?

    It shouldn't be a problem. I have my bearded dragon cage stacked on my ball python/carpet python cages.

    I'd just make sure the beardie can't see the snakes. My sister's beardie doesn't react at all if he sees people or cats walk by his tank, but he absolutely flips out if he sees a snake. He wasn't a happy camper when he had a line of sight to her blue tongue skink either, lol...
