Horned lizards should never be kept with ANY other species because they are even more stress prone than wc chucks, and they must eat ants. They are designed to tolerate the presence of ants and ant venom whereas chucks are not. But they stress and die if you so much as look at them sometimes. Having an animal three times their size in the enclosure is almost sure stress and death.

Collareds are also not a good choice with chucks because they are very active lizards and their diet is very different.

Putting the curly tails with the uros is also a risk because if you are keeping your uros properly, then that is not a suitable environment for curly tails. Uros need a hot dry environment and those conditions would be harsh for curly tails.

Please reconsider mixing species, especially full desert or semi desert with tropical or sub tropical. These two environments are just too different. I don't understand why you would be compelled to do this at all, especially with wc chucks that need a stable environment for at least a year or more.
