| why, you mix any animals in a close confined space and you are just asking for trouble. so no would be my answer |

Hmmm....
With very similar species it *might* work - like possibly gargoyles and crested geckos together or bearded dragons and plated lizards i think
With animals so different like corns and geckos you'd probably end up with just fat corns 
You'd need to make sure the requirements for each species are the same and that you really do have a big viv - animals do coexist in the wild but they have miles and miles of space to have their own individual territories in... its pretty difficult to have your own territory sharing a 4ft viv or something 
Then theres always risks of aggression, competition for food and just general stress for the animals - most (if not all) reptiles are solitary and 'enjoy' their own space |

| not a good idea with snakes but you can mix different day gecko species, or geckos with frogs, providing the enclosure is big enough, the species are compatible, the individuals are compatible, and they require the same husbandry eg. temps, humidity etc |

Something that has been missed, leos originate from the desert in Pakistan, corns do not, their temp range is totally different, their habitat, humidity requirements, substrates.
A Leo needs an average temp of about 32 degrees, corns will survive, but its not a healthy idea. |
