probably not.... the size difference is quite a large one and the chances of the larger ig wanting to hurt the smaller one are pretty good. how long is the enclosure? you agve the height and the depth but you don`t say how long it is.... i`m no expert on this, but i know i once put a toad on my igs cage (female ig) and she did NOT appreciate it to say the least ( toad wasn`t hurt). it was the only time i ahve ever seen my iguana do head bobs. she is ordinarily very docile. point is this: my normally very docile and non aggressive female reacted very aggressively to a toad in her cage, i would hate to see what she would do to another ig in her cage!! my ig is also about 1 1/2 ft. (11 inches svl). so the 4 ft ig even if it has a normally very non aggressive disposition, seeing that smaller ig might bring out the fiesty ness in her. like i said tho, i`m no expert....just a thought....

: I have a 1 and 1/2 ft. female ig. I was wondering if I could put a 4 ft. female in the enclosure with her. The enclosure is 6 ft. high x 4 ft. wide.
