Mixing species is often unwise, from any sources I have read or people to whom I've spoken. Hopefully someone with experience will chime in.

that is 36 cubic feet..

It is not the size that matters, it is the enviromental requirements of the species along with the size and dietary needs of the animals. Myself I would hate to walk into my room and find one of my geckos scarfing down another one. Or find a Arid gecko dead because I put them into a rainforrest set-up

Your either a New Yorker or a European if you think a 20 Sq. Ft Bedroom is awfully big...!!!

Thats a small bedroom that is 2 foot by 10 foot, 5 ft by 4 foot...my vivarium room is about 12 x 12 or 144 Square feet.
