    Yes - keep them out of line of sight at all times.

    I've got their enclosures on the same wall where the snake is below the frog and they can't see each other. Which has been great. There's not been any problems except if I forget to scrub down after handling or cleaning the snake, and then go to change water for the frog. If the frog smells the snake she gets a bit wary for a while, but aside from that she's never shown any signs of stress.

    Well, today I let the snake out to explore for a bit while I cleaned in the critter room. All of a sudden there is water splashing everywhere in the frog's enclosure and I turn around to see her frantically clawing at the screen lid with she has never done before. I didn't even think about it when I let the snake out- she saw the snake on the ground under her tank and completely panicked. She's okay, she only bumped her nose - which she does a lot chasing after crickets anyway - and as soon as I covered over her tank with a blanket she calmed right down.

    From now on her tank will be covered before snake has any out of tank time, and we are planning on moving the frog out of there later this summer once her new tank is ready so that should permanently solve the problem.

    At one point I had a collection of frogs,snakes,tropical fish,lizards and salamanders all in the same room.as far as I could tell ,nothing seemed to bother anything,but I always box in the sides of tanks and I'm not one to handle my animals that much.back then though,we had different rules,for all I know as soon as I close the door I could have had one huge anxiety ridden half zoo,the sounds coming out of that room though we're really insane....

    I thought she had calmed down, but it's been 3 days and she still hasn't eaten. That girl is like clockwork when I put her mealworm cup in the tank and she'll sit in it for days waiting for more to "appear". Crickets don't last more then a few minutes. However, there has been no feeding response from her whatsoever, although she did finally go and sit in her usual spot on the branch sometime last night.

    I moved the tank into the bathroom for a change of scenery to see if that might knock her out of whatever is going on. I'm concerned that she now sees the spot where it was as a dangerous location. I hope not, because the only two cat-free zones in the house is the room where she was in and the bathroom, and I don't want that to be permanent! Her enclosure is not claw proof and there's no way to make it so and leave her enough ventilation.
