Housing different species together??

teeblue Sep 22, 2009 12:38 PM

I have been keeping 2 Terrapene c. and 1 Cuora a. together for about a year now without problems. Other than the Cuora a. spending much more time in the water than the terrapene c. there has been no difference in care and diet. I'm about to add members of both species after a brief quarantine period. Anyone know of or experienced any problems keeping these together?

Thanks

Conventional wisdom advises against housing different species together.

I have housed an OB w/ a few different water turtles, over the years. It has worked fine.
