Can i keep giant african land snails with whites tree frogs?


Answers:
Yes the snails are vegetarians and much to big for the frogs to make a meal of.
Yes
NO NO NO NO NO!! whites tree frogs have poisons and parasites only they can have. the snails have poisons and parasites only they can have if you mix they will trade poisons and parasites and both will end up dead. also the trail the snail leaves. can ruin the frogs skin and kill them. so do NOT mix differen't species!!
they have the same ideal set up conditions, high humidity, lots of foliage etc. but they are not compatable as tank mates, snails eat the vegetation and plants, and have the secretions that come out from them which may harm the skin of the frog, the frogs eat crickets, the crickets will harrass and slowly eat away at the snails, causing your tank to smell really bad and attract flies and other parasites etc. giant african land snails got so large that they cannot hold their own body weight when they are full grown, so imagine your snail climbing the walls of the tank, and dropping off from the top, right on top of the frog... wouldnt do the frog much good.
do yourself a favour, keep them seperate
