    Seems like any animal you move in immediately wants start making babies which means that they've found themselves the perfect environment.

      The geckos produce their own eggs, without a mate. they are pretty infamous for running around laying eggs everywhere.

    I did something similar to this when I was a kid (with lots of adult help) after seeing an advertisement in this herpetology magazine I had a subscription to showing a terrarium/aquarium split in half to allow for aquatic,terrestrial, and semi-aquatic animals. It took like three months to get it all working properly but when I did it was super cool. I had newts, crabs, fire-bellied toads, Dwarf African clawed frogs, a family of geckos, an assortment of fish, and probably other things I either didn’t have for very long or am just forgetting about. The tank was 75-100 gallons so if anything happened to not get along well there was enough room for them to keep their distance and everything seemed to prosper. Everything in the tank that had a viable mate eventually reproduced over the five or so years I had it. It eventually busted during cleaning and I had to get rid of everything. They were all sent to good homes though.
    I did this with minimal help since there were no guides to follow back then, at least not ones that were easily accessible to a 10-15 year old. I’ve always been curious about what kind of ecosystem I could create as an adult with access to the internet and limitless amounts of money but I’ve never pulled the trigger on it. Every now and then I get the itch and look stuff like this up. Maybe one day I’ll finally do it.
