My beardie doesn't care about BP, or the other way around and they are housed close together. So there is no worry.
Beardies are wonderful pet lizards, I'm sure you'll enjoy him as much as I enjoy mine. They have such an awesome personality! Really neat!
Do you have basking light in that enclosure, b/c you will need it. It's best and cheaper to use regular flood/spot bulbs for basking (that's what I'm using, and they are working great for me).
If you have any questions about beardies please ask, your beardie will love you for it!
Check out this site, it's the best beardie forum out there, just like BP.net is for ball pythons: http://www.beardeddragon.org
