crested gecko with anole and others?

smith710 Aug 27, 2006 05:38 PM

Ok i didn't know where to post this so I posted it in the gecko forum because I'm most worried about the crested gecko than anything else. Given the cage is big enough... would it be ok to house a crested gecko, some tree frogs, and an anole together?? I'm not too worried about the frogs and the gecko, I'mk more worried about the anole bothering the gecko... I understand some people don't believe in housing seperate species of animals together and that's fine. Other than that, do you think the anole would bother the gecko or the frogs??? I don't have any experience in anoles so that's why I would like to know. I know everybody would have to be around the same size so I'm not worried about anybody eating eachother but will the anole "attack" the gecko or the frogs???
Thanks alot

I dont think he would attack anything that wasn't another anole or small enough to fit in his mouth. Try to imagine though that the anoles are incredibly active and as mine climb all over each other and continually drop out of their branches onto the ground when hunting might irritate or even stress your gecko. I dont know the requirements of crested gecko's so you should ensure they all have the same temperature and humidity requirements prior to mixing. I'm pretty sure crested Gecko's grow a fair bit bigger than anoles and therefore if he doesnt want to eat the anole itself a passing leg or tail might be mistaken for something edible. Green anoles change colour and I have on many occassions seen them have green eyelids and feet whilst the rest of the body is brown, and vice versa.
