Now, if I had housed a different combination of species that would interact with each other, I would see how you could be concerned. But I picked these animals carefully for this tank, and having assesed the risk, I feel that they are safe from harm. -Zack |

Also, Most of those animals are pricy so I wouldnt be happy If there was a death due to stress form the other inhabitants |

And yes, the animals were fairly expensive so losing one would be a great loss but all the areas in which they inhabit have been "formatted" to meet that species needs(humidity, temperature, etc.). Now, usually I would be with you 100% about not mixing species. However, when taking the proper precautions it can be done with little stress on any of the inhabitants. With my research and expirience with reptiles and amphibians I am able to do this, as would many others if they just took the time to do it right. -Zack |

Excuse me,but Iam very concerned reading this... Fire-Salamanders like cold and dark wooden areas... They are active at night and sometimes at day,when it is raining. They don`t like temperatures over 20°C !!!! They need no light at their enclousere... They need cold,fresh water and the water must be changed every day... They like rotten woodpieces to hide during daytime... Rotten woodpieces are very important,because they have exactly the moisture,the salamanders need... Please use earth from the forest to fill in the cage.... Fire-Salamanders are very toxic and other animals don`t like them... They need hibernation from October till March... Please don`t feed them in the last two weeks before starting hibernation Temperature during hibernation :5-7°C !!! So,you need a cold room to hibernate them... Please feel free to get more informations-I would like to help you... Here is a foto from a natural habitat in Germany : Kind regards... podarcis-fan

When animals are captive-bred, they do not hibernate. I could be wrong. But bunnies don’t hibernate captive-bred. Lizards don’t in captivity. But, again, I could be wrong. |

That`s just a genetic question... Without this very important hibernation,they only will live for a few years. The oldest captive-bred Fire-Salamander I know was 56 years old. |

as for your cage and the inhabitants I realy do think its a bad idea to keep them all together, you say that its big enough but animals find eatch other in the wild and thats huge and the newt if attacked by any other cage mate may kill the attacker because of tozins in the skin |

The salamanders have their own water source underneath the pothos plant. This discourages them from venturing out in to the less-humid, open area where the frog inhabits. Did you really think that the salamander would just come out and bask? -Zack |
