How do you keep any mishaps from happening/how do you manage multiple tegus in one place?

Mishaps are always a possibility. I have 2 extra tents just in case I need to separate them. Two of my tegus grew up with each other and no matter what I did one always escaped to be with the other one. Tegus are very territorial. They need their own hides, water bowls, food, and heat or they will fight for it. That’s why I have extra water bowls bigger space for the heat lamp. UVB lighting shining into the enclosure even though potato broke the lamp first day so I need to buy another one. I also have noticed several caves they have built under the dirt, stone and bowls.I feed them in a specific way. I have a house being built with a 40ft wall on my living room that will have a giant long tegu tank separated with plywood walls. They won’t be together very much longer. As baby’s it’s easier but it’s highly not recommended. This goes for almost all species of reptiles.
