So i saved my turtle squirt from a girl in my sorority at my old college - - I went back up yesterday for alumni weekend and another girl and her roomate have two hatchlings in an over sized chip bowl with not even an inch of water. I told them all about proper care and that they need to get them a tank etc. etc. and now they don't want them.
I just bought squirt (my turtle) a 40gal breeder tank and he is only about 2.5 maybe 3 inches and currently looking at a 90gal on craigs list for an apartment that i will be moving into in july.
But to get to the point they found someone to take one of them that will do it correctly but they can not find a home for the second. I want to take one of them but don't know if its a good idea. I read alot about aggression between turtles etc. and i know the risk of having to put them in separate tanks. Squirt is a boy (i looked at the tail and hes not 4inches yet but the nails are starting to get a bit longer in the front too) - - im pretty sure one hatchling is a male and the other is a female. If i do take one and try to put them in the same tank i want to take the male because to be honest i dont want to deal with eggs and the chance of fertility - -
are turtles like other animals though with more chance of aggression if there are two males?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
