I have a 289 gallon pond in my sunroom that contains/contained the following:
Pink-bellied side neck - Emydura subglobosa
Redeared sliders, adluts and juviniles
Missippi Maps
Painted turtles
A diamond back terrapin
A reeves turtle
a small afican side neck
a florida softshell
a yellow mud
I think thats all.... and my turtles are all getting bites out of them, and their shells, and I just found my small african side-neck decapitated... very upsetting.. I would really like to know the culprit... anyone have any ideas??? thanks!

I would guess that it could have been the softie or the terrapin. I have been doing a ton of research on soft shells recently and everyone says that they are extremely agressive with thier owners and other turtles, especially when in a community habbitat. I have also heard that terrapins can be quite agressive, but im not that sure, does the softshell have a chunk missing from its shell too?
