Hi Rob,
My big worry is that these guys have differnt dietary needs and humidity requirements. Parasites native to one could really create a prob for another.
Im posting some links that may help too.

: I CURRENTLY HAVE A 6" RED FOOT MALE, APAIR OF 9" RED FOOTS, AND A 9" SULCATA FEMALE IN THE SAME LARGE PEN. THEY GET ALONG GREAT AND I WAS THINKING OF ADDING ANOTHER SULCATA AROUND 13 TO 14". I'VE READ THAT YOU COULD KEEP "AGRESSIVE" TORTOISES SUCH AS RED FOOTS, YELLOW, AND SULCATAS TOGETHER AS LONG AS THEY DIDN'T FIGHT AND WHERE IN A LARGE ENOUGH ENCLOSURE. RECENTLY SOMEONE ELSE TOLD ME THAT KEEPING RED FOOTS AND SULCATAS TOGETHER WAS DANGEROUS. I'M NOT LOOKING FOR OPINIONS OR THEORIES BUT IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS FROM EXPERIANCE OR JUST SIGHTED FACTS PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS MY COLLECTION IS ALWAYS GROWING. THANKS,ROB
