Questions on Gulf coast boxies

phishnuts Jan 08, 2006 08:06 AM

After winter I am taking my spotteds to a rehabber in Deleware. they will be put in a breeding program. ( I can't sell turtles, you never know their fate)My boxies where getting sick and i am sure it was from the spotteds.
I am thinking of getting two Gulf Coast boxies hatchings. I figured on bringing them indoors like my 3-toe in winter.

My question is it possible to keep all three subspecies to together? I don't have to. It seems like it is what is usually done. I just want to do what is best for the boxies.Any help would be appreciated.

Gulf Coast Boxies are much more aquatic than the Three Toeds and being that they grow much larger have a tendency to bully the Three Toeds around.
