rule of thumb,
its not a good idea to mix different species in the same habitat.
leopard geckos and bearded dragons require two extremly different setups and the agression of the beardie may just lead it to kill the l.g. having them in the tank will also cause them to stress each other out.
a bearded dragon should be in a 55 gallon breeder tank when it is full grown. and a leopard gecko should be in a 20-30 gallon long. id stick with one or the other, or get another setup to get both.
wnyherp.org has some great care sheets on these guys, you should check them out and see what you are getting into!

We have 2 female leopard geckos housed together in a 30 gallon tank. My boyfriend bought these geckos last year and they started out the same size but one was growing much faster than the other. It seems that the larger one bullies the small one causing her to not get as much food. We've started feeding them separately so that we can ensure the smaller one grows the way she is supposed to. Any time you introduce a new pet to an existing pet make sure you monitor them to avoid any problems.

no because the bearded dragon might hurt the leopard gecko i have a bearded dragon and they will even hurt their own kind but not very often but it is better if you get just one or two of the same type of lizard also it is better (if you plan on getting two lizards) that they are introduced at a young age so they will be used to their cage mate and will not hurt its cage mate

No, they require very different diets and environments/temp/lighting/heat/ etc. Never mix species like this. Put the beardie in the huge tank (a 75 gal. is a good size for a beardie) and get a 20L for the gecko. :)

absolutly not, if you put them both in there the bearded dragon will eat the leopard gecko.

It does not matter how large a tank you put them in they will not coexist in the same enclosure. You cannot mix different breeds of Lizards.

No, the beardie needs dry conditions and the gecko needs humid, you can't put them together
