Question Red Foot Yellow Foot co habiting

Im not going to do it, but Yellow foots and Red foots are from roughly the same area and I have read that they encounter each other in the wild. Could you keep one of each together or would this be unadvisable?
Im just curious.
:o)

reds and yellows are from the same rainforest but have different habitats so husbandry would be different in captivity, so that is why you couldnt keep both together

Well they do overlap and they do meet in the wild as I have read texts that they are not sexually attracted to each other !! I keep my captive bred yellows with the reds for about 6 months and all are thriving, adults I am not sure. Yellowfoots have to stay wet but I think that the reds would do no harm by staying wet as well IMHO

It was more random fascination. I was wondering if I could make an Orange Foot lol. Balderella needs a friend......Another Redfoot will do the trick.
