Default Mixing species

Has anyone here ever kept any species of Uroplatus with any amphibians? Successful or unsuccessfully?

in the book Svatek and van duin mentions cohabitation with another lizard
as U.sikorae and Anolis Carolinensis
but I've never heard of amphibians with Uroplatus
I would advise against unless you are an expert target species
but surely possible and with the same species is endemic
what surprises me the mixture of Svatek ...
I have kept myself R.ciliatus with Hyla.cinerea

I kept U. sikorae with Megophrys nasuta for several years.

i've never kept any uroplatus but a thought of mine would be that many arboreal amphibians would compete with uroplatus for food because they also feed at night. Also many times amphibians can be very opportunistic feeders and a moving tail of a uroplatus might look appetizing. Megophrys nasuta are terrestrial so i could see how that would work im sure the geckos would hardly ever see those frogs. I've kept small tropical tree frogs with small phelsuma. In a large tank this worked well. The animals never saw each other.

I have on occassion kept tomato frogs with both Lineatus and Fimbriatus. Because of the ground dwelling nature of the frogs it creates the same situation as previously described with the Nasuta with the added advantage of both species coming from the same general region of Madagascar.

Also to this day I have a breeding pair of Phelsuma Klemmeri in a 20 gallon extra high tank with a pair of Ebeanui. Have had over a dozen babies in the last two years with no loss of so much as a tail

Klemmeri and ebeanui! Wow, I wouldn't have thought that would work because of temps. What temperature are you keeping that tank at?

As for the tomato frogs with Lineatus and Fimbriatus, did the Uroplatus ever breed/lay eggs?

Thank for sharing that info with me!

The tank typicly stays in the 70's background with halogen puck lights that provide basking spots for the Klemmeri. The Klemmeri tend to stay near the top during the day and retire to their bamboo hides at night which is when the ebenaui are typicly most active.

No breeding in the leaftail/tomato tanks, but that is most likely because I only keep my extra male uros in them. Hard to lay eggs with no female
