Well, in all fairness and not to be a hypocrite, I have an Exo-terra that my son has used to keep treefrogs and other small species of frogs and toads. He usually catches a half dozen in the spring and releases them at the end of the summer. We also have a baby snapping turtle in there. Occasionally a small frog will go missing and I've been more careful not to allow him to put what would essentially be feeder frogs in there. We have a very large green treefrog female in there with the turtle and she would gobble down a smaller treefrog in a heartbeat. I'm sure the turtle would be happy to eat froglegs for dinner as well. But, the water pool has limited access and they have been together for over a year.

Anyway, there you have it. I have a mixed tank! There, I said it. Admission is the first step to recovery. Although I never mix my dart frogs with each other or with other animals. They are so cool and easy to watch that I really don't need any other animals in with them. Also, some of them cost me an arm and a leg, so I wouldn't take the risk. But, all four of my boys have learned a lot by having a terrarium set up ready for whatever they find in the mud. They've raised tadpoles and released the toadlets, learned that toad tadpoles are largely prey items (after watching in shock as a dragon fly larvae grabbed one of their tads - he was promptly removed), among many other things. So, the morale of the story is listen to everybody's opinions and then make an informed decision.

If you;re talking about putting a small toad in with a brown anole for your son or daughter, then by all means go for it. But, if you're considering mixing exotic, rare, or expensive animals, there is a risk that you could lose them.

Yum yum! but that was an accident you have to use common sense.
