I keep eastern bluetongues and cunninghamskinks together in an indoor terrarium and have done it for years without any problems.
Cunninghamskinks are much faster and lively than bluetongues, but it dosn't seem to stress the bluetongues at all.
As the two species eat almost the same food, I find it a fine combination.

The actual terrarium for blutongues and cunninghamskinks is 170x75x80 cm (lxdxh). I don't use terrariums much smaller than that.
