They aren't that different in size but their heads and mouths look so much different in size, they seem to get along fine but when bunched up eating I get nervous that the bigger ones might accidentally hurt the smaller, what are your opinions?

I don't see an issue with those sizes put together. That's just me, though. I have two fatties at 6" and two at 5" and I haven't had any issues (yet). Just monitor them and make sure both gain weight and remain active. If you're worried about feeding time, add a second food slab further away so they each have a pile.

I was going to say the same. Just keep an eye on them, different torts will have different temperaments but those sizes together shouldn't be an issue.

Is the small one a hybrid Redfoot/Leopard? Really cool pattern.

Haha! They do look like leopard redfoot hybrids. I thought so when they hatched, but sorry to disappoint, it is a cherryhead with a really cool she'll pattern. Thanks to Bigreek for taking him!

That little guy has a really cool shell pattern I must say! And to also have the bright red legs there. Very cool torts :)
