    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.

    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.

    Cheers,
    Scott

    Cool Re: Species mixing..... at the Zoo?

    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.
