What different species of reptiles can live in a 200-500 gallon terrerrarium together?

Question

(turtles, tortoises, snakes, lizards)

Answer 1

Spend is 100% correct and gave a wonderful answer.  No need to give him a thumbs down there.

To add, in a tank that large, you could probably get away with maybe 2-3 different SMALL species of lizard, but they would need to be from the same area in the wild, require very similar care and would need to be quarantined SEPARATELY for 60-90 days before being put together.  This is usually a feat that you should not try unless you have kept the species before and are willing and able to bring an animal to the vet if necessary.

EDIT - One more thing... you need to be able to ensure all of them are eating and NOT stressed.  This tank would have to be heavily planted and all species not capable of eating each other.

Answer 2

None

Never mix differnt species of any reptile or amphibian here's why

common problems inculde

eating each other (its suprising what will at least try to eat what)

Attacking/ killing each other (2 animals that dont normally live together will sometimes fight.

stress (makes for ill reptiles just being near even a species from the same geological range can be stressful to these animals)

Incompatible toxins bacteria and illnesses (especially with phibs but is common with others 2 just cause one species can handle one type of bacteria/doesn't mean they all can these animals evolved in totally different ways meaning there resistant to different things, as for toxins many phibs and invert have these as defense mechanisms and can easily kill or make the others ill)

just because 2 animals require similar set-up and temps doesnt mean there suitable

mixing is not somthing to do without years of training experience and prefeably some form of degree (or high educational qualification on the subject) it takes months of careful monitoring health checks and a boat load of luck. even then its not totally safe. do u really want to risk your animals
