I forgot to add in my other post to go to caudata.org/cc/ and read the article on Species Mixing diasters. They are all horror stories about some ill advised people ended up with dead frogs and salamanders.

If this was not enough to keep someone from mixing, think about the pathogens transmitted from one species to another.

You are taking species from different parts of the world and putting them togather. Each creature has an imunity to certain germs and parasites, so when you put them with another creature that is not from that part of the world you end up with a sick animal and then possibly a dead one.


So in short please do not mix species togather to save you heart ache and for the sake of the animals.
