Hello, my name is Guillermo from Argentina.
i am new in this forum so i would tell you and show you some pic. so you can see how i am creating my vivarium.
well it`s a 1,50 metters x 0,60 x 0,60 terrarium. it has a water section where an albine frog will be, and the rest of the terrarium has some plants, and moss.

also, a infrared light of 150 watts it`s turn on at midnight, and 2 heaters rocks.
it has a rain system, you can see the silicone tube at the top of the terrarium in the last pic.
it also has a cooler that exctract the bad smells inside the vivarium like, humidity and others things and helps the air circulation.
at these moment the vivarium is over the 20ºC at night, but 25ºC at day, i think thas ok, isnt`t it?

i will put inside de terrarium: 3 bombinas orientalis (they have a red back)
3 anoles (1 male 2 females), 2 geckos and2 albine frog.
do you think the animals i want to put inside the vivarium can live toogether?
that`s my only doubt...


Tell me what do you think!
thanks a lot!!!
sorry for my english!

Depends on the what type. The scientifics names would help in know the habits of what you plan on doing. The 1st problem I see with the list is in an enviroment that houses different herp when they get hungry if it fits in their mouth they will try to eat it.

I would be worried because it is a diverse group and the neccessities will vary. Food, temp, humidity, lights can all be different. I think it is a great idea on paper, but there has to be alot of research before hand. We all learn from experience, and it might work out just fine. I can't say that the temp is okay for all your herps across the board becuase the geckos like it dryer, and the frogs like it humid. Geckos like to bask in the warm light and the frods might dehydrate. Just from those few things I would say it might not work.

Think of it like a zoo. When you go there you do not see the lions with the bears. They have their own places because they have seperate needs and in a natural setting they are enemies.

I don't know if I would mix those together, but I'm not an expert. Most poeple do say not to mix species though.

Also, one thing I would do is get rid of the heat rocks. they can cause burns to reptiles and amphibians. They ar epretty much for use with desert dwelling animals.

other than that it looks good.

By albino frog do you mean albino pacman frogs? If so, then don't mix those with anything, not even another albino frog.
