Okay, I'm new to this so please be kind!

1. I have no idea what I'm talking about. My girlfriend is REALLY into this, so all of this is for her.

She has always wanted a frilled dragon, but for all kinds of reasons has not made the plunge. She has 2 green igs and a couple of uros and bearded dragons. We just purchased a new environment for the two igs that is 8'X6'X4' (they get along very well). So my question is, can I introduce a frilled dragon into this envoronment? The environmental needs seem similiar. Both igs are about 4.5 feet long, so the obvious question is whether the frlled guy will have a heart attack?
We will soon be purchasing new environments for the bearded dragons and Uros (they also live together in peace and will only now live separately) as well but their needs seem more "horizontal" than "vertical."
Does the Frilled Dragon like to be alone? I guess I'm trying to figure out if I need to put a new room on my house to keep this woman happy!

Again, please understand that I'm new at this and I'm only trying to make my girlfriend happy. If I am off base, I am not trying to insult anyone, I only want the best for the animals!
Thank you in advance.
Bob Clifton

Yea, that is probably a death sentence for the frilled. The iguanas would likely mutilate it, if not, stress it to death. Also iguanas are likely carriers of bugs and bacteria that could harm the frillies (and vice versa).
The frilled would need its own enclosure. You can cohabitate frillies together, but I would not recommend housing with another species.
