You are reffering to Reptariums. They are good tanks but they do have draw backs. Only young Green Iguanas and young Tegus can live in that kind of tank. Also, snakes seem to be able to escape by pushing their nose against the oppening until the zipper slides and they are free. Also Iguanas and Tegus have very sharp claws which should be able to tear through the tank. Though if you get something like one of the dwarf spinytail iguana species (Ctenosaura pelearis and C. quinquecarinata) you should be able to keep a trio. The same holds true for dwarf tegus too (Callopistes maculatus).
