Woods/Blandings Question

A.C. Sep 03, 2004 08:05 AM

Can these 2 spp be kept in the same quarters as long as enough room is given?

Does anyone have any good care sheets or web sites on the care of these wonderful turtles?
Thanks!

I am pretty sure you can have woods and blandings together. I would separate adults from smaller juvenilles. But as for adults it is ok to house them together. Both species live in similar areas and habitats. Nathane Hodgins raises both species together, you could email him for questions(fatfarm007@aol.com). For care sheets go to woodturtle.com lots of info there.
