The ideal number of long-tailed lizards that can live together
The ideal number of long-tailed lizards that can live together in one habitat depends on a few factors, such as the size of the habitat, the number of hiding spots available, the amount of food and water available, and the temperature of the habitat.
A good rule of thumb is to have one long-tailed lizard for every 10 square feet of habitat. So, for example, if you have a 20-gallon aquarium, you could have two long-tailed lizards. If you have a 40-gallon aquarium, you could have four long-tailed lizards, and so on.
What is the maximum number of long-tailed lizards that can live together?
It is not recommended to have more than two long-tailed lizards living together. If you have more than two, they may start to fight and can seriously injure each other.
The minimum number of long-tailed lizards that can live together
A long-tailed lizard can live with other long-tailed lizards as long as there is enough food and space for all of them.
If there are not enough resources for all of the lizards, then they will compete with each other for food and space. This can lead to aggression and even fighting between the lizards.
Summary
After doing some research, it appears that the number of long-tailed lizards that can live together really depends on the size of the enclosure.
A small enclosure might only be able to support 2-3 lizards, whereas a larger enclosure could support up to 10 or more lizards. Ultimately, it is best to consult with a reptile expert to get accurate advice for your specific situation.
