Bearded dragons with Hermann's tortoise

I know it is not advised to mix species, but what problems would one might expect from mixing a female Hermann's tortoise and a pair of bearded dragons?

Different species carry different parasites and "gut fauna", what is harmless to one animal could be lethal to the next... I wouldn't house them together for that reason...
