Answer
No, don't mix the different types of reptiles. One might carry a virus or something that it is immune to but introduced to the other it could be very dangerous. Also you never know how they will react to each other and if they don't get along good then one can get harmed. Also lizards are solitary animals meaning they live alone when in the wild and really don't like company. So just keep them how they are and don't risk something bad happening to one of them.
