Sounds like the concept of a biological filter in an aquarium...



The trouble with lots of issues in the herp world is that people like to see things in black and white. For example, in the original post, the poster asked if he could keep anoles and leos together. That obviously wouldn't work. But it's not true that any mixing would never work. I've also seen people post that sand is a horrible awful killer substrate for all herps, and that's not true either, but it's very bad for some herps at some times. People will always argue over grey areas, I guess.

"The serpent crams itself with animal life that is often warm and vibrant, to prolong an existence in which we detect no joy and no emotion. It reveals the depth to which evolution can sink when it takes the downward path and strips animals to the irreducible minimum able to perpetuate a predatory life in its naked horror."
