Hi everyone! I'm a rather long-term member who hasn't been on in a long time, so I'm not sure if anyone remembers me. Anyways, I had an interesting thought earlier, so I decided to bring it here.
I know that it's not recommended to house different species together because one may carry a disease that, while harmless to it, may be fatal to the other tort/turtle. However, I'm wondering, has a case if this ever actually been documented? I'm wondering more about species with similar temp/humidity requirements, particularly red or yellow foots with eastern or 3 toed boxies, but I'm also just wondering about any documented cases of disease being transmitted between species.
I'm not sure if this is the right section, since I'm not really wanting to debate anything, but since this is a debatable topic I thought it might belong here. If it's in the wrong place feel free to move it!
