Ok well what kind of setup do you have? First off, a box turtle and a slider should not be housed together unless you have an outdoor pond with a signifigant land area. Box turtles are terrestrial, sliders are aquatic. Exotic species like the the one you just bought should not be housed with the sldier either. I would only reccomned keeping turtles that are naturally found together, in the same tank. But even then you can run into problems with agressivness. So basically what im trying to tell you is, I think your over your head. You will need a different enclosure for each turtle, and the boxie should have an outdoor pen. The slider will need at least 100gal tank depending on sex (females can get 12in). And the other guy will get pretty big as well, again I would say a 100gal tank at the least. Well if you have any more questions please feel free to ask.
