Species mixing..... at the Zoo?

[Mattiez]

Those African Aquatic Frogs seem to be major Chytrid carriers. Could be lethal to the Reeds.

Diseases are a huge factor, Reed Frogs seem like something that would do best in their own terrarium.
What drives me nuts about mixing a skink and a toad the most (aside from toad toxicity) is that Skinks and Toads dwell in the same niche in the Terrarium.
I wouldnt try any wild experiments with community terrarium, it's best to stick to whats been successfully done before.

I keep Litoria peroni with Eulamprus quoyii without problems.

They only problem I see with that is you got to make sure that your frog does not poison your skink. Thats means daily changes of the water bowl.

I've seen skinks take chunks out of similar (or larger!) sized salamanders - no reason why they wouldn't try the same to a frog if they ever run into it. The fact that you're dealing with a tree frog should reduce encounters but I'd be a afraid of what might happen.

[eipper]

I don't have a water bowl in the enclosure, as Eulamprus are semi aquatic they use the water as do the frogs. (the water is filtered and half changes are made on a regular basis)

At one stage I had Litoria infrafrenata, Eulamprus quoyii, Mixophyes fasciolatus and Wollumbinia lastisternum (Juvs) all together in a 4ft by 2 by 2 tank that worked well.

I'm thinking about putting a Green Anole, some guppies, and maybe a gecko in with my gray tree frogs. Do you think that would be ok?

Today seems to be a good day for necroposting~

As for the anole, gecko, and tree frogs... It's not really a good idea.

I know you have already posted a link about mixing and as before if you really care and dont want to chance harm to your greys or others it is never recommended to mix. Yes some do it and with success but you better have a huge terrarium to house them all with space, (community tanks need to be bigger than expected). Also research there needs that they all need the same temperature and humidity and safe plants and the toxins each animal might have and if they are harmful to each other animal.

But as I said it is not recommended and dangerous to your greys they are very sensitive and can become stressed and release toxins easily.
