Anole Lizards and African Water Frogs

22 13:51:08

Question
I have an anole lizard and five African water frogs in separate habitats in my classroom.  Can I put these creatures into one habitate (large aquarium)?  Will they be able to coexist without harming each other?

Answer
If one is of the size that it could eat the other it might try to.  Most likely the frog eating the lizard.  Frogs can eat HUGE things.  I once dissected a leopard frog which had a not only a FULLY grown crayfish in it's stomach but also a baby crayfish!  Had to have been 70-80% of his weight-amazing.
