Are These Two Tegus Too Different In Size To Put Together

My Tegus are similar in size to the ones pictured in the following youtube video: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rv76lQl9CM&feature=related" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rv76lQl ... re=related</a><!-- m -->

I was curious if the size discrepancy was too great to put these two together. Currently, I have my larger Tegu, Frieda, in our sunroom and my little guy is housed in a 30 gallon tank. My female in the sunroom is very active but my little guy in the 30 gallon is still in hibernation mode, only coming out every third day or so to bask and eat a little. Also, do Tegus share the same hide or must they both have their own individual hides?

Yes im sorry but that is DEFF a very bad idea...even tegus around the same size can still attack eachother and kill eachother for many reason such as food agression and territorial disputes...so putting two together the completely wrong size would be a very bad idea...please do not do that.
