I'd definately separate the Three Toes from the Easterns. They will interbreed and you won't know what the offspring are. You'd have an easier time placing "pure" Easterns and Three Toeds, rather than potential crosses.

The ratio largely depends on the turtles themselves. I have 3.3 Gulf Coasts in the same pen and while the males occasionally fight, its never anything serious.
