I have had a 20 inch sudan plated lizard for about 9 years. Do you think I could introduce a yellow throated plated which is about his size with him?

Can a yellow throated plated be introduced to live with a Sudan plated?

I imagine it would be ago, but the only thing that causes concern is if you have two males. Do you know whether they are male or female? Other than that, I think it would be just fine. The other thing I would suggest, and I'm sure you already know this, is to have a pretty large area for both of them to roam in.

NO! It is never a good idea to house different species together. Territorial aggression can result in intimadated non-feeding animals, fighting, & possible health concerns. All imported or captive hatched plateds (from WC imports) can get various transferable parasites. Animals housed together with out quarantine can become infected. Please treat with Panacur & flagyl, & have vet do fecal exam. Good practice is to quarantine all new animals for 90 days before introduction to groups of their species. During this time they are deparasitised, checked for developing respiratory infection, and other possible illnesses. Since you where general on your question I have tried to cover all the basics. Hope this enlightens you any concerns.
