General Care Discussion :: Bachelor Pad?

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Thu May 17, 2012 10:10 pm   Bachelor Pad?

I have one male and one fairly-sure-it's-a-boy-but-too-small-to-really-tell "male". The one is 4", the other is half his size. They were in the same tank at the fish store, despite a few day's difference in purchase, and are now comfortable in a 54 gallon tote. I'm planning on upgrading this to a 110 gallon rubbermaid stock tank indoor pond in the near future, and was wondering if the pair will be able to get along together long term in that much space? So far they don't stray too far from the other, and I'd like for them to be able to keep each other company. Thanks in advance!

Its really a case by case basis in indoor enclosures aggression is much more likely to present its self. Just be ready to separate if you need to and keep an eye on them as a problem can arise at any moment

Males will almost certainly need to be separated.
