I just built a 29 gallon terrarium. I already have two green anoles and a lineta day gecko living in the tank. Could arrow frogs live in peace with the other lizards or should I look for something else? Thanks.

You shouldn't have done that, you have awakened the angry dart frog hobbyist god! lol

simple answer, nope.

Not a good idea I seen it done but mixing anything with WC animals is usually a bad idea

Don't be jumping to get ride the lizards so fast.. a few things to consider before you take a trip to the dart side...(yes I know very bad quote..couldn't resist)

1. Tank..you should be good with the tank just make shore you get ride of every thing in their and start fresh even though you could possibly be removing the animals parasites and other nasty's could be left behind. Also your going to need to be able to keep hi humidity and temps around 75 ish I would recommended a glass hood for the tank. Do a little research on what frog you like their are some that are better to start with then others. Aurtus, Tricolors, Lecomelos are a few good 1st timer dart frogs

2. Food are you going to be willing to culture Flightless FF.. or buy pin head crickets all the time?

3. These are not an animal that will tolerate being handled.

4. Do as much reading as possible on the particular frog you interested in and don't be afraid to ask question's.

Hope this helps

Do you have room for another tank? A lot of us go in for elaborate set-ups because we like the natural look with waterways and such. I have one very simple 20 gallon fish tank however, with just a few plants and branches, shallow water containers covered with concave bark and a screened top over which I put plastic wrap to maintain the humidity. This one doesn't even have lights, although it gets very good lighting for the plants from a nearby glass door without direct sun. It does have a heat mat for the soil that I use in winter when the room temperature may get too low at night. Four D. auratus frogs do very well in this, and it requires a lot less maintenance than my elaborate paludarium and other fancier vivariums. For larger, more active frogs you might need something bigger, depending upon the number of frogs. You don't have to have an expensive castle for them, so think about it before getting rid of your lizards. Mixing darts with other genera or even different species of darts is sometimes done, but it's a shame to buy potential problems.
