Igs are so territorial that introductions normally don't result in igs' becoming friends :-( *Sometimes* they get along, but normally, it results in eventual vet visits to repair lacerations and broken bones. I know of a case where a large ig *ate!* a small one to the horror of the owner (the smaller ig only got halfway down, but the owner could not pull it out).

If you do introduce them, do it in neutral territory and not through the glass of an enclosure. That often makes the occupant feel territorially threatened.
