Is it safe to house a single cherry with five sulcatas? I have an 8 year old male cherry that has grown up alone. Would it be safe to house him with full grown sulcatas nearly 3x his size?

I just found the article posted on mixing - sounds like it is not a good idea in general. Is mixing always worse than keeping a single? I haven’t compared environmental requirements of sulcatas and cherries. Would cherries and yellows be ok?
