Sorry, we have gotten off-topic. To answer the origin point of this thread, I think (through process of elimination) it would be safe to keep fish/snails/worms(maybe)/crayfish in the enclosure, but it would be best to avoid snakes/scorpions.

Not only parasites but also bacteria and others. Thats how criptosporids gets out of control in leopard gecko colections! The patogens dont afect the insects but they shure do afect the lizards that eat them.

oh well thats good to know then yeah don't think keeping anything other than like fish/snails would be good
