No, you should not house them together. Mixing species is a bad idea to begin with, but if your jacky seems sick it is even worse. If you get a bearded get another tank or do not get one at all.

Why would you have two different accounts? The moderators aren't going to be happy. I'm going to copy and paste what I said in the other thread:
reptiles should always be housed separate. Risk of parasites, disease, and fighting are all good reasons not to do this. Please don't listen to Nitro.
Reptiles don't need company, they do fine alone. Also, Jackies are aborial lizards, they need tall enclosures, while adult beardies are terresterial, low branch/brush reptiles and require long tanks. and a gecko... now we are getting into an animal that has TOTALLY different needs in terms of humidity, decoration and tank size. and your Jacky is sick... go see a veterinarian! You CAN NOT house these lizards together!! Absolutely CAN NOT. They have VERY different needs! and now, your Jacky is sick?! You can't be serious about wanting to expose another reptile to that.

I agree with TariStar, you should not ever house two separate species of lizards together, especially if they come from two completely different habitats. and on top of that get your other lizard well before even getting another you can pass so many things to a new lizard just b/c he has been stressed and his immune system is down.
