can you keep a chinchilla and bearded dragon in the same room?
So I wanted to get a bearded dragon and it's tank would have to go in my room, but I already have two cages of chinchillas in it (2 in each, 4 total, and 2 are babies/not full grown) But since chinchillas have to be kept under 70 degrees and dragons are a lot over 70, could they be in the same room? The dragon would have a light in its tank but would it be able to be outside it's tank at all in an about 60-65 degrees room? thanks

You can keep them in the same room, the bearded dragon needs the lights anyway so the lights will keep the tank at the temprature the bearded dragon needs. As for taking him out you wouldn't be able to keep him out for more than a couple minutes in a room that cold, is the rest of your house that cold? If not you could take him out of his tank and into another room to hold him.

I wouldn't just because they need such different environments. Chinchillas typically need air conditioning, and need to be kept under 75.
