not really a good idea...if you have a really big enclosure than that would be ok. but most times they will try to fight. they need 2 basking spots...2 food dishes...a large cooling spot as well. i know some one who kept 5 igs together 1 male and 4 females but his enclosure was 7 feet high 6 feet deep and about 11 feet long

I wouldn’t. Some folks have had good luck with two or more in the same home and I’ve seen lots of pictures of Iguanas "chumming" it up together but Igs are loners and territorial to boot I don’t think they need company. You might come home to a severely injured Ig or worse a dead one. Even if they don’t fight it could cause one or both of them to stress and that can lead to other health issues.

just my humble opinion...
