No you cannot. They may stress and or fight.

It's not the best idea. Though, I suspect that's what you are doing right now, isn't it?

I'm trying to think of what would be a good temporary cage. Maybe someone smarter than I will turn up with an idea.....

if you were in calli i would bring one to you to use til yours got there

Well, that's an idea. Maybe the store can loan you a cage? or someone in the area (there has to be a herp society around you can contact) has a cage. You might even contact the local schools (middle and high) and ask to speak to the science teachers. I know that when I had a cage available, I offered it to my daughter's science teacher (who kept lizards, including a really big monitor, in the room) and he said he was over loaded with cages.

I'm still thinking....when I've needed to keep on outside the cage for any time I've used canvas shopping bags with climbing material. But that was very short term and absolutely required someone to be there at all times because, eventually, they can climb out of it.

You can get a mesh trash can and put screen on top with a bungee cord, or use a foldable mesh laundry bag both are easy to purchase at like target or one of those stores
