Question
Can I house a Golden Tree frog with a Cuban Tree frog-or would the Cuban's skin secretions poison the Golden? If not, could I house the Golden with my chameleon??

Answer
Dear Julia,
thank you for your question.
I don't recommend co-housing species unless the enclosure is very big (6x3x3 ft long, wide and high and bigger). In smaller enclosures, the animals cannot avoud each other, may prey on or stress each other and usually their requirements in humidity, temperature ect. vary. Golden and Cuban tree frogs have different needs:

The chameleon may try to eat the frog, it may be stressed by it and the frog's secretions may harm it (all frogs are at least slightly toxic).
I hope I was of some help to you
