: could i put an iguana and a sulcata tortiose together in the same enclosure?

I would be worried about them transmitting diseases to each other. You have two animals from different parts of the world who have developed a resistance to their own "native" microorganisms, but not to those from 2 continents away. Even captive bred animals can carry these microorganisms so be extremely careful.
