I wouldn't house any other species with spotteds for two reasons:

1) They are valuable enough not to risk it. Why risk introducing disease or injury to your spotteds?

2) They have fairly unique habitat requirements, and I've heard of other keepers complain of thier spotteds drowning when kept with other turtles in deep water, or of males accidentally drowning females in deep water. Which leads us back to # 1.
