I was planning a new vivarium for my golden mantellas. does anyone know if a U. Phantasticus would get along with them?

would not put them togethter. Frogs are so prone to all sorts bacterial infections, I'm not sure what could be spread form frog to gecko or vise-versa.

Another thing is they both eat the same thing, except the frog lives on the ground and would have better access to whatever crickets you throw in.

And the gecko may be at somewhat of a disadvantage as far as getting his share. Or again maybe the gecko would eat and the frog would not find enough.

Just some thoughts, I would not mix !

why not get another tank and have more mandellas. And get your uroplatus a mate, hehehhhehe sound good?

Hey good luck with your viv, whatever you do.
Oh and post some pics of your uroplatus love to see him,

I keep and breed golden mantella frogs and recently started keeping Uroplatus. I don't keep any phantasticus but I do have a male ebenaui. I've watched my ebenaui eat crickets that are larger than some of my small male aurantiaca and I'm sure that if I kept some goldens in with my gecko they wouldn't last for long. Other than that care is very similar for the two, very cool animals. Good luck,
