I personnally would always think it's not a great idea to house any type of reptile together. Think about the habitate in the wild.. whilst they might come across each other they can certainly go their seperate ways, however even in a 90 gallon tank they can't.
But i suppose there are safe ways of doing everything. I mean after all a success vive should really trick the animal into thinking they're in the wild, and thus you should have a healthy animal, physically and mentally.
This rule should apply with keeping animals together. A lot of people keep bearded dragons in groups and also leopard gecko in groups. The trick is to offer each animal a habitat of its own, in the gecko's case it needs to be seperate damp spots, seperate heat spots, etc., etc.
If you can successfull do this in a vive with a lot of landscaping, then go for it. Offer the gecko's a good basking area, offer the frogs plenty of hiding space.
I actually like the idea of keeping larger species of denros with the electric blues. In a big enough set up i think it'd work nicely, but keep in mind the animals shouldn't come into contact with each other. geckos will lick everything to see what it is.. Droppings, animals, you, doesn't matter. And if your dendros have anything and you're not sure of their health this will effect your geckos.
I'd personally set up the vive and house the dendros for a while, see where they like to hang out the most, then begin to tailor the opposite end of the tank for the geckos, add a basking spot etc., etc, and then aquire a captive bread pair, particularly young, and try housing them...
It's definetely something I'd be interested in looking into. Does anyone else have any experience on this?
