I have posted here before about my baby Redfoot (about 4 inches long). He's doing great and absolutely thriving. While I've had him for about a month, he was actually purchased as an Xmas present for my dad - I was just caring for him until we could give it to him. He was thrilled!
My sister and I now want one of our own (to co-own). Would it stress out Mylo (his new name after we discovered one of his scutes had an "M" shaped marking on it) to add another, similarly sized baby to his environment? The enclosure is large enough, but I know that turtles tend to be solitary unless it's mating season. The last thing I want is to harm Mylo by introducing another one. If I do so, is there a quarantine period I should follow before adding the new one? Is there a special way to introduce them or anything special I need to modify in his current enclosure to make it comfortable for two? I have heard that male-male is a bad combination, but at this age they are impossible to sex. If they were to grow up together, would the issues with that combination lessen?
