I'm not sure how I feel about that. It's cool to use all of your space, but then the enclosures will easily be missed by visitors! If a cool species is in the bathroom for the opposite gender, then some people can't see it!

I believe there is a species of marmoset in the women's restroom.
See! A whole primate species that I can't see if I visit that zoo!

Yeah, interestingly my mom and my sister didn’t see it, it was probably in another bathroom.

Ah, no wonder they weren’t seen, thanks
I remember that Cotswold Wildlife Park used to have a Green Mamba/Gaboon Viper mixed exhibit. I don't remember the exact species, but I remember when I went there, the mamba was laying on top of the viper.
Said exhibit is no longer there, though.

In addition to those already mentioned for the Bronx Zoo, it also has tortoises in with two species of lemurs and a number of species of small perching birds (I've seen a lemur standing on a tortoise using it like a stepstool to reach some food), and several of the reptile house exhibits are of mixed species, including more than one with multiple turtle species, one (I think) with both turtles and lizards, several with more than one species of snake, and if I remember correctly at least one with a snake and a frog or toad.
In burgers zoo they have:
Gilamonster and rattlesnake
Green tree frog and green tree python

Also in ouwehands they have green iguanas together with a caiman species. I don't remember the species of caiman anymore though.

The cuban rock iguana has also moved out since then. However, they still keep cuban rocks together with red-footed tortoises.

There are numerous mixed-species reptile exhibits in Beauval, sometimes even mixed with frogs, fish and/or aquatic mammals.
They appear to be successful, as I see them for many years.

Indianapolis has many reptiles in there desert dome, such as berded dragons, and grand cayman rock iguanas, sometimes mixed in with bobwhite quail.
Central Florida zoo has a few mix reptile/amphibian exhibits, such as bushmaster and dart frog, and emerald tree boa with a type of tree frog.
Gatorland has some crocodilian mixes, such as a Cuban crocodile with some American alligators, and ether a Nile/American (Don't remember witch one) in the larger entrance swamp
And many zoos in Florida have had many species of turtles with alligators. Mostly sliders, but I think I have also seen soft shells, and even alligator snapping turtles.
