I would say never. If they're both 'naughty' you're just asking for trouble. Turtles do just fine living by themselves.

I agree with leaving them separate. You never know when they might decide they aren't going to get along. It could be right away, or it could be down the road. I don't know what 'naughty' means in terms of a turt, but it sounds like you aren't going to want them together.

How big are your turtles? I agree with Jen and Missi - keep them separate.
