In-Game Exhibit Animals that can Realistically Coexist

Basically, exhibit animals can't be put in the same enclosure. In Some cases, it makes sense.

But others, why not?

When I see a vivariums with dart frogs, there are multiple species. I checked, and the 2 dart frogs and the RETFs share similar needs.

Which brings up the question: what vivarium species can live together? And is this a feature y'all would want?

A couple of mixes with exhibit species that I have heard of:

Cincinnati Zoo mixes their boa constrictors with four species of poison-dart frogs (including the in-game golden poison frog):

A number of zoos, primarily in the USA (such as Phoenix, Philadelphia and Caldwell) but also Singapore Zoo, mix Gila monsters with rattlesnakes - the Western diamondback seems to be the most commonly-mixed species:

Other than those, there don't seem to be many species suitable for mixed enclosures, especially when it comes to places like Africa and Asia, which barely have any exhibit species anyway. I do think there should be some capacity to mix these species, although I don't think there should be a bonus for doing so (personally, I find the entire system surrounding mixed-species bonuses a bit odd, but that's a whole different discussion).

The two iguanas definitely shouldn't be mixed - hybridisation with introduced green iguanas is the main reason why the lesser Antillean iguana is considered to be Critically Endangered.
