Mixed Terrarium

well I guess i read it like you want 50% of your enclosure to be water, which sounds like a lot to me.

Chances are the anole wont use it. The treefrog only needs a water bowl. For increased humidity all that needs to be done is severe misting daily or twice a day. Misting the ground also helps. Making the tank 50% water is going to be a waste of good space for the anole. Anoles NEED room to roam. They are often thought to be good that they can do well in a 10gallon with like 5 or so. No in reality is they need larger enclosures because if you look at them they have high energy as opposed to other reptiles and amphibians. They are constantly moving and only sit still for say like 2-3 hours a day? Anoles are the gerbils of the lizard world.
Hopes this help.

Thnx for the help, not to be rude, but many people have kept Anoles with frogs and have done very well. Also, my tank is gigantic for 2 animals. Its a 60 gallon aquarium. More than anough space for both. My Anole isnt showing any aggression at all. They dont seem bothered by eachother, but also, I will be keeping the advice in mind.

Anyways, my bad, I should have been more specific about what I mean. I see Green Tree Frogs all the time in ponds and stuff. I want to give my frog a natural place to live in, but also leaving my Anole with enough land to be happy. So not 50 land 50 water. More like 25% water 75% land.

BTW, I do have another tank for my green tree frog if anything goes wrong. So again, i'm watching them both closely.

Thnx for the tips and help. But can someone please help me out with my question?

Okay well in that case do what I do. Get a rubbermaid tub the size of the water space you want it to be and just put it in the tank. You can make it so the pool is at ground level. Like dont put it on top of the soil. Take out some of the soil in that part(meaning that area will be bare glass) and put the rubbermaid in there. Put soil around the rubbermaid to fill in the gaps(you can use some linen to seperate dirt from tub). Get some live moss and put it on the borders so its like a mat. Whenever the anole or treefrog goes in itd wipe the dirt out of the legs and body when they get out itll help keep the plant moist. If you dont want to use the plant you can line it with large flat rocks. :] Hopes this help! There are many other things you can do. I did this with my old terrarium. But what I did was I put the tank with water and then put the rubbermaid with soil. So I can put a filter in the water for the ranids to use. You know? Works either way! Make sure y ou have enough vines/plants on the tank and drift wood for climbing. Anoles are extremely active species.

Thnx for the help, I will be using your idea. Now about Kurt's comment, maybe I could put some sticks and plants hanging down from up high into the water. So that way, if my Anole falls in or even gets in the water he can hopefully get out. Also, haha, the water is only meant for my frog, I don't want my Anole in it. Again, thanks for the help!

I don't know if this helps, but when I made a water area for my Whites', I put large rocks in the bottom. Even though the water level was quite a few inches, for the frogs it was shallow water because of the rocks.

You know those "turtle docks"? That would be better off in that so should your anole accidentally goes in than he can get out. I would also put sticks like you said. But good luck. Just remember to keep a close eye on it. I guess if you feed them both they may not bother each other? Iam more worried about parasites and bacteria. Plus the fact that all frogs are mildly toxic. If i were you id put a small whisper filter in the lil tub. Itll help remove waste. Still you do waterchanges and itll be like a fishtank(just dont add fish).

I'm no expert, but don't frogs only unleash their toxins when threatened? Just Wondering.

In generall its in their skin. when they go in the water, the toxins get into the water. All frogs have poisons.
