Could a Leopard frog and a tiger salamander work well in a 55 gallon paludarium?

I personally wouldn’t. Too much risk of disease transfer and there is a risk of the salamander poisoning the frog. Frog also would prefer a more aquatic environment than the salamander (though both will want some water).
Amphibians are almost always best species only.
 
dart frogs.... What would be your guess of the water area size? Ever considered a snake? Pics will help.
As tankmates?
I’d think either could eat a dart frog and I’ve personally seen a snake chowing down on a frog similar to a leopard in my yard.

Both are fun to keep on their own if that’s what you meant!
 
Tiger salamanders are very predatorial. If it could fit the leopard frog in its mouth, the frog will get eaten. As a kid one of my friends had a Tiger. We once tried to keep tree frogs that we had caught in the same enclosure and the salamander started eating them as soon as we put them in.

Yes that's why they are called Tiger Salamander.

thanks for the tag.... I definitely agree with the above. Tiger salamanders are poisonous, there tails contain it for self defense. Could do tree frogs. just get a water dish and food dish on the wall (ill add a link to one in a sec) so they dont have to go near him.
