1 of my Pink Belly Side-neck is kind of mean

Hello,

In doing research on these guys all I kept seeing was how peaceful they are and that they get along with all but mush and snapper turtles. I bought 4 hatchlings last year and 1 of them (Cody, the mean one) grew way faster than the other 3. He has become the king of the turtle tub and he bullies the other 3. Is this normal behavior? I attached some pics of Commander Cody and Rex. The other 3 are about the same size as Rex. Also, any tips on how to get them to eat pellets? Cody is a beast and will eat anything but the other 3 only want worms. Thank you

I don't know this species at all, but what you describe is pretty normal chelonian behavior.

Thank you. They also go by Emydura subglobosa

I've heard of the species, and I like them, but I've got no personal experience with them. I hope you are able to grow them up and get some breeding going on.
