keeping juv. snakes and frogs together????

[reptile_keeper_luke]

I own A yearling Darwin Carpet python, and am wanting to put it in the same enclosure as my 2 Green tree frogs
Though i was not sure if this was a good idea
atm She is not large enough to eat the frogs and I have sat with them together and seem to go fine with each other
I would just like some advise on this please ?

Short advice. Don't do it. The chance of injury to one or both of the animals is very high. By the way GTF rarely eat snakes.

For every story you read about very different animals living in close proximity very happily
there are many other stories where only one or neither survived

I would just say don't do it.. A walking frog could look a bit too much like food to a snake...

 

[snakeynewbie]

Just because they are too big doesnt mean your snake wouldnt have a go at it resulting in death or serious injury to your frogs. Bad move basically

possibilities
1/ Snake eats frogs. Snakes can eat comparatively large prey items;
2/ Frog eat snake. Frogs can eat comparatively large prey items;
3/ Snake eats frog then frog eats snake. Frogs and snakes can eat comparatively large prey items;
4/ Snake tries to eat frog and fails (maybe repeated, possible damage )
5/ Frog tries to eat snake and fails (maybe repeated, possible damage )

and two totally different habitats, darwins need heat and dry areas to bask, whereas too much heat wont be good for your frogs and they need constant moisture. Dont do it, way too much could go wrong...and also how big is your snake? It must be very small for a yearling not to be able to eat a frog.

DON'T DO IT !!

Please....so much potential for things to go cactus .......

what are u on bro? darwins live in humid environments man, and their habitats overlap in the wild, they both inhabit the same areas and require same temp, humidity etc as eachother, but i agree with u on not doing it anyway, it is too risky either way.
