Insect Direct Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 1 year old one male one female both are bitten on feet id make sure temps around 26-28 and maybe add some tonic salt or similiar to aid healing of the wounds, may just have to keep them seperate as males can be agro unfortunately but the wounds should come right theyre hardy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumzy50 Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 A bit late replying to this.If you check the turtle sites,turtles are not ment to be housed together. When young its not so bad.As they get older they can kill each other.In a pond its okay to have them together,as they have the space to get away.They need to have their own tank.
