I was wondering what would happen if a cleric took both the animal and scalykind domains as they both grant animal companions. And before you you go looking there is one god that has both domains Ydersius the god of serpent folk.
Now my first thought was that you just get both but then I was reading that there is a unwritten rule that you can only have one animal companion at a time (without an archetype at least) is this true or is it written somewhere and I just missed it. And if it is true then what happens do you only gain the benefit of one domain, do you get both regardless, or do you only get one but the druid levels stack giving you an animal companion at a higher than character level?
This may have been asked before and if so I am sorry.

I believe the "rule" you are referring to that limits your character to one Animal Companion is a Pathfinder Society specific rule. The logic goes that having too many NPCs on the field can slow down gameplay, and sessions have to fit into 4-5 hour blocks.
There are no Pathfinder general rules for restricting the number of Animal Companions one may have.
