I was wondering about my 2 res turtles.

They to me are only 3 months old and small little babies.

One is bigger than the other by about half. I have already talked about them on the urgent care board.

The names are Gizmo and Squirt.

Gizmo is lighter and bigger.
Squirt is smaller and darker. He is also the one I praying gets better...you would have to read that post.

But I put them back in the same tank together because Gizmo would spaz out when Squirt wasn't in the tank. He would always try and swim to him wherever I would put him next to the tank. When I stuck Squirts small tank in the bigger one Gizmo kept crawling up the side trying to get in so I gave up and put them together. Now they are always on top of each other when they are basking under the lamp and in the water Gizmo will swim up to Squirt and kiss him.

Is this common in RES's? For them to grow so attached to each other.

You might be misinterpreting their behavior as affection. Until they are closer in size, you should keep them separated. If either is sick then absolutely keep them separated.
