    The biggest reason in my opinion you shouldnt mix is the fact the frog is toxic. It maybe mild to us but to the anole it will be stronger due to its not a very big lizard. Fire bellies unlike poison dart frogs are toxic in captivity also so you really dont want them shareing the same water. IMO its not worth the risk of makeing the anole sick.

    They have a different niche, the anole being arboreal and the frog being terrestrial. The anoles will more likely lap up water from leaves or an arboreal dish, rather than going to the floor. So in large enclosures it's possible and many have maintained them together. Having said that, I personally would rather mix USA tree frogs with them than fire-bellies since both are American and the tree frogs ain't poisonous

    Hello all, thank you so much for responding, I'm not entirely sure on where to start. I will be making a list of Items I think I need,
    I'm going to be releasing the wild anole back since her leg has entirely healed. I might keep the original tank and set up and just remove the fbts and put them into my 40 gal when it is set up, I'm thinking about making a small family of greenhouse frogs.

    I'm assuming its going to look something like this?

    If computers have no doors or fences, who needs Windows and Gates?

    That's a pretty cool tank, would make water shallower and more land, though
