I know that Ackies are not suppose be kept with other herps, but is there anything compatible with it?

I know that ribbon leech, snails, woodlice, springtails, mantids and worms worked with my tropic lizard setups.

The lower humidity environmental requirement of the Ackies make it hard to find woodlice and springtails that can survive... let alone trive in 55%-60% humidity.

I know one of our members keeps his Ackie in with his beardies, in a a huge viv. I would also imagine that a blue tongue skink could be kept with them too.

Nelson??!

Eh, I rather not keep other herps with them. One of the Ackies will try to force the skinks and beardies bow into submission.

Although that would be a cool idea: a semi-arid Australian biotope enclosure. I would imagine I need a dedicated room to pull that off though.

Hi, yes Ive kept my Ackies with my Bearded dragons for over 6 months now without any problems. But they are kept in an 8x2.5x2.5 (originally just for the Dragons).
He loves living with them, basking eating and following the girls around. He's much more relaxed and active now than he was before.
