Poison dart frogs and pygmies

[pssh]

Hey guys, I know mixing species is generally frowned upon. I also know that it can cause severe stress, illness, and death to the animals that are subjected to forced cohabitation. I understand that poison dart frogs do not even come from the same continent as Pygmy chameleons. That being said, I was just wondering if anyone here has attempted to keep them together as their care is somewhat similar? Perhaps if you are experienced in both animal's care you could share your opinions and theories about why it would or wouldn't work?

I'm not going to try this. Please don't reply if you're only going to say something about the stress factor, the lack of experience, illness, etc unless it pertains to your experience in attempting to mix these species. I'm not looking to be flamed, I'm just curious. I'm not looking to be reprimanded by people who have kept a veiled or a panther for only 5 months.

Thanks.

The continent isn't the problem. The real big thing are the differences in humidity and temperature. I think that it's possible in really big enclosures with several m³ but not in a "classic" terrarium.

I agree ..

A poison dart keeper, not a member of this forum, did tell me they successfully kept pygs with one spc. of darts that had same environmental reqiurements -- even though diff geo/politico areas. The darts were a very small spc. of thumb's and the viv was quite large. Didn't go into specifics with them but can check back with them if you want.

Well that's cool. I've been looking into dart frogs. It crossed my mind that they have very similar care and was curious.
