    Default Housing a snake in the same room as a tree frog?

    This may be a silly question, but my grey tree frog is always so mellow and seemingly content that I don't want to do anything to stress her out. We're seriously considering getting our first snake (a Brooks King), but it would need to be housed in the same 5 by 8 room that the frog is living in. Their enclosures would be about three feet apart, and any out of tank time for the snake would also need to be in that room. Would the scent of the snake affect the frog? The frog came first, so she gets the veto vote on the snake if it'll bother her in any way!

    I doubt the frog could smell the snake. But if you have the tanks right next to eachother, the sight of the snake might scare the frog.

    I keep several snakes in the same room as my frogs. The frogs have never shown any discomfort with it. Just make sure they can't see each other.

    The frogs i put in with some of my snakes don't last long. Then again, my snakes are naturally frog-eaters so i'm not surprised. It is fun to see a frog raise its body and legs to make itself look bigger and scare a snake away though

    The frog will be safely tucked away the entire time! I'll velcro her lid down as well for safety just in case the snake ever does accidentally get out as she's the only thing in the room that will be edible.

    If I spin her tank a tiny bit (it's a hex with a 3 sided background) then she won't be able to see over to the side of the room where the snake will be. It won't look as nice since the back is unfinished, but if it keeps her happy that's all that matters. Thank you!

    I'm not sure that you have to do that if the tanks are on opposite sides of the room. But it's good to hear that you're willing to make sacrifieces for your frogs well-being
