It really is generally a bad plan to house lizards with frogs, at least in my opinion. In smaller enclosures, the stress levels and parasites tend to lead to a higher mortality rate. Frogs all excrete toxins...obviously some more toxic than others, but with the stress of lizards, they are apt to excrete more dangerous levels.

For instance, people often try to keep firebelly toads in filtered terraria with anoles/house geckos. More often than not, though, the water they rest in is ingested by the other lizards, thus leading to deaths.

Working in petstores, i have seen people attempt mixed vivs...they can work, but it isnt the best for the animals.
