Whats the recomended square footage of outdoor pen space per turtle?
Can you mix ssp's of terrapene such as; carolina, major, and bauri?

I would recommend an area allowing 6X6 ft per turtle, also you can mix them but if males and females together (oops, may need to consider) housed together males and females of these different species may mate creating intergrade. Also some turtles just need their own space or will not get along with others. If you have large enough space and that happens you can add dividers.
