Reptiles and amphibians do not always get along

Most of the time, reptiles and amphibians do not always get along and cannot coexist. Moreover, there are some species of reptiles that can carry different types of bacteria and it can be harmful to other creatures. In addition, they have special needs and it can be quite difficult for them to connect with each other. For instance, you can’t mix an iguana with a tortoise and it is obvious why. 

“This is especially true for animals that come from very different areas of the world and live in very different climates. It is not recommended mixing animals that do not naturally exist in the wild or share similar requirements in regard to climate, space and nutrition,” says Dr. Ogle. “Even if the other animal does not attempt to eat their roommates, the build-up of toxins in the habitat can impact the other animal,” warns Dr. Ogle.
