little zoo together

[kendrab]

i have a 200 gallon tank that i started for miss siss (my 3ft 4in 6yr old ball python). she has always been infront of a window and my husband decided to move her and she got really depressed and i almost lost her. so i got her tank so that it would feel more like outside with plants and a pond in it. in the pond i put a filter and a heater so that she has warm water and it running and fresh.
durring this time i ended up with another problem...... bugs in the tank. nothing major just little nats and flies. so i started asking about things that would eat the bugs.
now i have a pond that has zebra daniels, neon tetras, a blue dotted guamie, rainbow shark and a placostamus (algie eater). i found miss siss one day in the pond and the different fish were "pecking" at her. it was really cool cause it was almost like they were helping her shed.
then i asked about different lizards that would be able to live in there with her and everyone that i talked to said none. then i came across someone that said that green anoles would work in thery since they are quick but as everyone says you shouldnt mix species.
well i got one and it lived the night then another night and another. then i figured that i could have more so i got that anole a friend and then my huband asked about frogs and i found some that would be able to live in the tank.
so in the end i have 3 green anoles and a green treefrog and a chubby frog and miss siss all living in a tank together.
it is really neat to watch miss siss and big fatty (my big male anole). they will sit face to face and watch each other and move around the tank but its not like a stalking type of behaviour. siss will actually move the cricket twards big fatty almost as if to watch him eat. then theres itsy and bitsy the other two anoles that will "take rides" on miss siss and eat bugs that end up on her.
its really neat cause its turning in to its own little ecco system. the cricks and millworms keep the dead plants down and the frogs and anoles love eating the bugs and then there is siss that is finally starting to perk up more and move around more.
would there by other bugs that i would be able to feed my little zoo that would also help with the plants? what plants are safe for all my animals?

I cant tell if this is a joke or not...

Lol what?

You shouldn't be keeping a ball python in that big of a tank. Ball pythons do not get depressed. There should not be fish, bugs, frogs, or lizards in there. You have created a warzone.

I would love to see some photos of this living vivarium...

Photos or it doesn't exist, post a picture of this set up or PM the photo to me and I'll post it.

Let me guess, you've converted Miss Sis to eating peanut butter because she never really liked rodents much anyway, right?

I'm not sure what to make of this.

if this actually works and your snake is healthy that's cool but if your don't have pics it's fake.
