Can I keep an Iguana and bearded dragon together?

I have a female bearded dragon who is really calm loves being handled and sleeps most of the day. I was planning on getting a small female iguana. I know the iguana wont eat the bearded dragon cause they only eat plants.
WHAT IF I GET A DESERT IGUANA WHICH ONLY GROWS TO 16 IN?
It could work, possibly. It all depends on the reptiles. Some individual lizards can be really, really mean, others can be very, very gentle. The first problem is habitat, though – A green iguana should not live in a desert type terrarium, and a beardie will not like a moist, jungle-like habitat. If you do decide to introduce them, be careful. If you put them in the same cage, make sure you watch them. As I have said before – some reptiles are really nice, others are really mean – I have personally seen multiple different species of the same habitat getting along peacefully. I have also seen multiple different species of the same habitat attack and eat each other. Be cautious, and supervise the animals for a long time. Please don’t put them in the wrong habitats though – that just won’t turn out nice.
