Here's a more appeasing quotation from the one person I know who actually does have a lot of mixing experience as a herp keeper in the New Jersey Zoo, Ed K.

"If a person is willing to research out zoogeographic correct multispecies enclosures and use animals that are suited for the niches in the tank once it has been set-up as opposed to simply shoehorning animals in to see if it works, then I have no problems with it." Ed.
