What Steven wrote pretty much sums it up. I would recomend doing a search on google for both fire-bellied toad and anole care sheets. Compare them both and you will see why they will not survive together in the same cage.



The other thing to think about is that although anoles are common species in many attempted community reptile and amphiban terrariums anoles are extremely territorial and aggressive lizards. A fire-bellied toad that is kept with one would stress the anole and I wouldn't be surprised if one of the two tried to eat the other. Also, fire-bellied toads will produce a poison when they are threatened (like many amphibians) that can contaminate the water source in the cage. For more information about why I don't recomend keeping different species of amphibians or reptiles together have a look at www.amphibiancare.com/frogs/communitytank.html Good luck!
