I have a large sulcata with a large outdoor pen, there is a little pond in the cage, I have five musk turtles I just got and was wondering if it would be ok for the musks to live in the pond because it would save from building a whole another cage. The musks would have acces to get out of the water but it is rare they do and i'm not sure if they would bother the sulcata, and this is the water it drinks and i am worried about diseases mixing, what do you guys think? i havn't done anything yet.

Well for my two cents worth, keep them seperate.
Look at it this way, "would a Sulcata ever come into contact with a Musk in the natural environmet". NO.
Therefor they both have the abilty to carry differing "virus/disease's, bugs, worms, etc".
If one of you specie becomes ill, what are your vets bill going to be? more than building a seperate home/pond for the Musk.
