i would like to set up a community tank with frogs, lizards, hermits, turtles etc. all in the same tank

is this possible?

if so can you guys give me a good link to read about community tanks and what specific animals i can put together?

tank size etc.

also is there any kind of community snake that i can put with lizards and frogs?

Unless you would have a large exhibit like a zoo would have and the species were all from the same locale andcould co-exit and have their own space then don't even think about it.

Community enclosures work if HUGE and with certain type animals but you are talking about maybe putting snakes with lizards, frogs ,turtles, The snake would probably eat them all.

The frogs can be toxic, there would be different parasites/ bactera's from each... just to name a few things.

Either stick with one species of lizard, frog, turtle , snake, or have many different habitats .

As people have said - bad idea.

However - I use to have a 50 gallon lizard tank with both fence and alligator lizards, and one pacific treefrog in the tank.

A 2 quart glass jug had water and a water heater in it set to 90F to provide additional warmth (there was a heat lamp but we shut it off at night) and the frog liked to stick his but in that jug when he wanted water, Pacific Treefrogs are generally terestrial except when young and when breeding.

There were also a couple plants in the tank.

It worked out quite well - but it was dumb to do it.

Keeping fence and alligator lizards together isn't too bad, but the frog in there wasn't wise even though it worked out.

iguana(full size)two cherryfoot tortoises(big) and a tree python all in the same cage..And they wonder why the tree python is so mean and aggressive.This place is in Kansas and its called Scaly Daves.Used to be a good petstore then they sold out...They have a cage full of adult beardies too, way too many in one cage if you ask me. I guess this isnt really an answer to your question is it.Sorry for the rant
