For example, I have noticed that spotted and Eastern box turtles, and other temperate North American species, vary greatly in this regard.

[…]their diets and temperaments suit them ideally to community terrariums. Compatible animals include spotted, tiger, marbled, slimy and other terrestrial salamanders (see photo), wood frogs (see photo), gray, barking, green and other native treefrogs and land snails.

[…]Morning Singers I once released a group of Tokay geckoes into a large zoo exhibit as a roach control measure (well, to be honest, mainly because I liked to watch them go about their business at night – few lizards can keep up with roach reproduction!). In those days I […]
[…]clawed), newts (eastern, marbled, ribbed), aquatic salamanders (sirens, axolotls) and turtles (spotted, painted, snapping, musk, mud). Tropical fish of all kinds also relish these shrimp, as do US natives such as Banded Sunfish and Tadpole Madtoms.

Mexican Red Knee Tarantula, Brachypelma smithi Quite different from the goliath in color, temperament and captive needs, the red knee is […]
[…]Snails usually reproduce readily in captivity, and small specimens will be eagerly devoured by spotted salamanders. A single adult spotted salamander requires an enclosure of approximately the size of a 10 gallon aquarium. Spotted salamanders may also be kept in ventilated sweater boxes on sheet moss or paper […]
[…]breeding ponds by late July or August, after which the ponds usually dry up. Miscellaneous Adult spotted salamanders have lungs but rely largely upon cutaneous respiration (the absorption of oxygen through the skin). The skin must remain moist if this form of respiration is to be effective – they are […]
