No, turtles and lizard's cannot live together, as for one, a turtle is an aquatic animal, and a lizard is not, and for two, they both have different living standards, EG- Different landscape, body-temperature. And last but not least, they could both cause major stress to each other! All in all, it is NOT a good idea to keep turtles and lizards together!!!!!

acctually some people do keep lizards and turtles together but the tank needs to be bloody massive! people keep chinease water dragons with their turtles i know someones who does it needed a tank so big it had to be custom built! it costed him 10k! but he has 3 water dragons and like 8 turtles but u need to have the money rolling in to afford that! i would advise to stick with one or the other . choose lizards ;)

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. However, turtle shells should not be painted.

Can adult frogs eat baby turtles?

Yes, turtles are very cannibalistic. Adult turtles will chase down and eat baby turtles sharing their tank because of their small size. To a adult turtle a tiny turtle is just so tempting to chase, then when they get up to it they just have to bite it! When they realize that they could eat it then they will. An adult turtle may also bite and eat a baby turtles legs while they are basking.Although "fellow" turtles are not part of their regular diet, turtles can fight and be aggressive with each other, snapping and biting at heads and limbs. There have been accounts of limbs and eyes being lost. Obviously, they can't eat through the shell. But they are omnivores and meat is meat.
