i have two turtles, one is 2" im unaware of the sex, and a 5" male, in two separate tanks.
i was just wondering if it would be alright to introduce the two when they are more similar in size?

thanks.

No I wouldn't. Fighting would probably come up

There's no harm in what I call 'supervised visitation'. When they are closer in size, you can introduce them on neutral ground and keep a close eye on them.

I would not recommend it as I am not quick enought to get the little one out before he looses a tail or foot. The safe side is, NOT!
