| Not together of course, but I'm just wondering, so long as they live in the same environment, would there be a problem is a RES coinhabited with another semi-aquatic turtle of about the same size? |

| You run the risk of turtles not getting along and becoming aggressive, but that can happen with all the same species. I've seen plenty of different species kept together. Like you say, just make sure they have the same environmental needs. A musk turtle has very different habitat requirements from your sliders, cooters, painteds etc. You couldn't mix a softshell with any of them, etc etc. |

| Thanks for the heads up, hopefully this critter is a social one, got a 40 gallon tank on the way, 18 by 36 inches, sure thats room enough for one more. |
