Hey guys,

I've got a mix between a yellow bellied cooter and a RES, 1 yellow bellied cooter, 1 razorback musk and 1 Mississippi map turtle
now I'm considering of putting a Diamond back to the group would this be possible? would it combine well with the habitat, temp, basking temp, food and it's social behavior with the other turtles? a guy I knew told me that the diamond back terrapin is a half salt/ half fresh water turtle which doesn't allow it to be in the same habitat as my other turtles but is this true or false?
sorry to bug you guys with these idiotic questions :')

Is this DBT captive bred or wild caught?

I didn't get one, but I asume that they have captive bred (I live in Belgium so they can not be wild caught here)

I believe captive bred DBT do not need brackish water, however they're really not my area :)

Is your setup able to support all these turtles?
