Good Vivarium-mates for Lepiodactylus lugubris

[Connectimyrmex]

Hi!

As a few of you may know, I recently bought a juvenile Mourning gecko. Her current terrarium, which is a bit small but has an extreme amount of extra space relative to her size. I was wondering if there are any small vertebrates/invertebrates that would do well with her.

The terrarium is extremely damp and humid with very little ventilation. It is heavily planted, so suffocation is unlikely. Due to the terrarium having a glass lid, no heating lamps can be placed.

I already have a small variety of animals that I can add or collect to add. Would any of these work?

-Red-backed salamander
-Nosoderma diabolicum
-Spring peeper
-Larger species of wild springtails (almost 5mm!)
-Adult Dubias

Thanks!

Some people frown on mixing like that but the only thing really suited to these type of geckos enclosure if you really wanted to do it would be frogs of an appropriate size, I've seen people keep giant Pedes with cresties too, you could try that, but the best thing would probably be more mourning geckos! And IMO the springtails should be in there as standard anyway, that's your cleanup crew! You could throw some isopods in there too

I have a small species of springtails in the terrarium, and I was thinking about adding my prized colony of giant springtails (I reared it from three adults).

Nice,,post some pics?? I guess you would have to throw a normal springtails in there for scale or something

OK!
I just need to find my macro lens. I'll try to add some pics after my midterm exam.
