hi i was wondering i have a baby retf and tank that will have plenty of room when it reaches adult can i keep any other tree frogs or lizards in the tank(12x12x18)i heard and read nthat veiled chameleons, day gekos and whites dumpys do well.id put another red eye but im afraid they might both be males and kill each other

Red eyes do well in groups. You could always add another two frogs, I wouldn't have more than three in the tank you described I think. I know plenty of people will groups of red eyes, they aren't having any trouble with it. Make sure its well planted, lots of climbing space and hiding. You don't have to add different species to make it work, and WTF can get pretty large.

I think my frog owns a megaphone....

Best not to add a different species-see the last thread, same topic.

Red eyes can live in small groups from what I know, but they should probably be relatively similar in size or you may run into difficulties.

I second the info already given; just get another RETF or even two, no more. White's get large quick and will most definitely eat them.

I do have a yellow headed day gecko, it's full grown, the size of an anole, that will be in the same tank. They aren't aggressive towards other species and are diurnal where as the RETFs are nocturnal.

I checked this with an experienced herper. I have already gotten tons of crap already at the thought of putting these two together, and I would not recommend any combinations as I don't have the experience to. I got my info from an expert, but in general you would not mix anything as 99% of things don't work.

Your best bet is adding RETFs as they are happiest in groups anyways.

put a cham, day gecko, dumpy, and red eyes all together? first of all they all have expremely differnet requirements, the dumpy may eat the red eyed and he'de probally try to eat the day gecko. are you crazy? especially in a tank that small, i have ONE whites in a tank that size and thats pushing it, i'm moving him to a 37 gallon soon.
