Can a boa and iguana live together in the same cage?

No. This may sound convenient, but would be bad for both pets and you.

First: Gliders taste everything in their environment. Iguana dung often carries salmonella. Salmonella poisoning can easily kill your gliders or make them very sick. Now you have an expensive vet visit and/or a dead pet.

Second: Iguana bites are serious and likely to carry infectious bacteria. An infected bite wound on a glider could cripple or kill it. Any bite wound will cost you an emergency vet visit and possibly a dead pet.

Third: Cold-blooded ground-dwelling lizards have very little in common with warm-blooded arboreal marsupials. Gliders need large cages with bars (like bird cages) for jumping and climbing. Such cages have a wire mesh floor that would not be good for iguanas, even with paper on top. Gliders make a mess with food and scat on the cage floor, right where your iguana walks.

You are not doing yourself a convenience by trying to put both animals in the same habitat. Please don't try it.
