Question by Kyle: Can a bearded dragon share a cage with a ball python?

I have 3 ball pythons, and I would like to get a bearded dragon. Has anybody ever tried to house these together? I have two of my pythons in one cage, and the baby is by himself. I have tried to search fo this with no luck. Thank you for any help you can offer.
Thank you! I guessed as much, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask. Anyway, I appreciate the fact that ya’ll responded so quickly! I’ll keep ‘em separated.

It is not going to work. Ball pythons are tropical and beardies are a dry arid species lizard. Reptiles are best housed by themselves. A ball python could make a meal of a bearded dragon if it is hungry enough.
