Maybe I wasn't clear. They have seperate indoor setups (leopards and Redfoots). Quite different requirements. It was a question about outside enclosure. And since I can't control the outside temp or humidity I do put them together in an enclosure or on the lawn. The enclosure has two choices, damp much and plenty of vegetation on one side and sand and dryer toward the other end. They seem to choose sides. Indoors, differnt substrates, different temps, different lighting, different food. I agree with everyone that different species require different things but I am just curious for specific information regarding the "different" pathogens that kill one and not the other. I can see them getting colonized if they came from differnt countries but captive bred probably have similar colonization.
