The ONLY semi safe cage partner would be another boa of approximately the same size.
most people are against housing more than one animal per cage. Snakes are not social animals, and have no need to be together unless for breeding.
a lizard would have claws and teeth, and it is likely that either the snake would eat the lizard, or the lizard would harm the snake.
Large snakes are capable of eating smaller snakes, including those of the same species...it is rare, but it often causes the death of both snakes.
Finally, you should probably raise your temps... do you have a hot spot? you should have a hot spot in the cage that should be appx. 92 degrees. the cool end should be in the low to mid 80's.
most boas are not arboreal, so having a 5 ft tall cage isn't really practical... most large boas are content with a 1 to 2 ft tall cage.
