Considering that green iguanas and red-footed tortoises are both reptiles that can live in temperatures from 70-95 degrees Fahrenheit, need humidity levels of about 75%, need the same UVA and UVB light, and are primarily herbivores with similar foods they should eat (dandelion, mustard greens, collared greens, etc), I'd say it's safe to assume they can be kept together. Tortoises and iguanas are both very calm animals, and I don't think fighting would be an issue - however, expose them to each other slowly, and if any aggression is evident you should separate them. Also be sure to design the habitat accordingly for both animals. A tall environment is needed for the iguana (at least five to six feet tall), as they are tree-climbing animals by nature, and tortoises obviously stick to the ground. Make sure the tank is large enough to accommodate both species and you should have no problems. Hope this helped :)

Can chameleons live with crested gecko?

Most chameleons are housed in a screened terrarium due to the lack of humidity they require. A crested gecko cannot sustain life in a screened terrarium due to the humidity that they require. These two species would never come face to face in the wild, therefore should not be housed together within the same terrarium. Animals of different areas/continents/regions cannot be housed together. They would require completely different heat, humidity, lighting, mistings etc..
