Hi< i currently have an 11" female red eared I keep out in my pond. But with the weather changing in Illinois fast, I need to begin her indoor set up. I was wondering if it would be safe to put the large female in a large tank along with a 2" red eared, and 2 4" cooters?? I currently have the 3 smaller ones in a 20 long and they are doing great. I would like to put all of them together in a tank measuring 5'length, 2 1/2' wide, and about 2 1/2' tall. Will the smaller ones be safe with the larger one?? I know in the wild they will live in a pond together but I aslo realize they have more than enough room to get away from each other. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Matt

Not a good idea. It is too confined a space for all those mixed sizes on turtles. Someone could get hurt.
