AT FIRST I WANT TO MENTION that I haven't even started building anything so im just asking to plan something going on in next months so it's just idea now. So it wil be devided in 40% land and 60% water with a lot of Branches and driftwood sticking out with background wall. I'm planning on getting there one bacconi skink or two, few mourning geckos and a few vampire crabs. Could I possibly keep these species together, or even maybe put some frogs in there?

No
do you wanna start a battle royal in that tank?
Seen success without the skinks. But if you hope to have vampire crab I’d have them alone until there’s a steady population. But I’ve seen them with the smaller geckos seem to do fine but you’re putting babies at risk
The skink and crabs would hunt the geckos, and the crabs could harm and stress the skink. dunno if the skink would hunt the crabs but could kill them
The skinks and crabs will start a war I know the geckos won’t survive
Some reasons to consider not doing this combo: [https://www.indoorecosystem.net/guides/keeping-vampire-crabs-with-mourning-geckos-is-it-a-good-or-bad-idea](https://www.indoorecosystem.net/guides/keeping-vampire-crabs-with-mourning-geckos-is-it-a-good-or-bad-idea)
I also want to mention that Vampire Crabs spend 99% of their time on land so making a tank that is 60% water is not going to be suitable for them. You will be confining 3 species on a tiny amount of space for a battle royal. Just pick one species and give them a good home.
