LizardLuva, your really putting yourself in a real mess. Mixing species will only lead to problems and even death later on. Parasite transfer, stress, and disease will eventually wipe out most or all of your animals. I know some people here mix species, but they are experts, not beginners. They also took the time to carefully research and make sure the habitat is best suited for all the animals. This is done in a VERY big enclosure. Ingo for example (correct me if im wrong) successfully mixed giant day geckos and leaf tails with no problems, but in a huge tank. (right ingo?)

If you want cheap species, anoles and house geckos (i heard) were successfully mixed with no problems, but for a beginner, i would only stick with one, and try breeding them. Also, i reccomend a big enclosure (atleast 50-60g) to even consider mixing them.

To answer your questions, you need to tell us exactly what you plan to get first. Not all species have the same care.

Good luck,
M.N
