: : What about skinks or anoles? I seem to remember someone mentioning keeping one or the other to help keep down the fruit flies attracrted to ig food. Any opinions?

Nope, IMO still not a good idea. Igs are territorial, sometimes even with other lizard species. In Hatfields book he has a true life story from someone who tried to house an anole with an ig. Everything went fine for a while. Then one day the owner heard a thwaping noise and looked into the enclosure to discover the iguana had the anole in its mouth and had beat it to death against the side of the cage.

You still have the issue of different care requirements also.

Just my 2 cents
