A wild caught newt housed with a non-sympatric animal with a naive immune system is a poor way to house either of these species. Also, the risk of predation by the frog cannot be discounted -- captive darts are known to attempt to eat very unlikely prey. Also, Batrachoseps major is living at the edge of its thermal tolerance in much of California (likely microhabitat preferences are very important in that part of its range), as it would be housed in tropical conditions with a Dendrobatid.
Why not a vivarium for each? That's by far the responsible way.
