Answer
Hi Sheenita,
Please forgive me..I read your question wrong...  I saw the word.."dragon" and got bearded dragon on my mind...
But...  its still NOT ok to house a green iguana with a water dragon.  To compare the care, I gave your the green iguana caresheet.. and you can go to http://www.triciaswaterdragon.com/dragoncr.htm  and read the differences...
With the water dragons, their diet includes insects and animal proteins which are deadly to an iguana.
Again.... please forgive me on ony really big error!!  I truly apologize for that.
