What is everyone's opinion on having more than one tort? I only have one and am thinking about getting a friend for her. She is a RT female and has a 4x2 ft indoor and big 8x20 ft outdoor enclosure. I know they are solitary creatures except for mating but I wanted everyone's opinion who have more than 1. Do they interact? Are they aggressive with each other? Do your torts seem happier having a friend? I also was wondering if instead of getting a Rt for her maybe something different like a Greek or Herman (not a Red foot or anything). Is that a bad idea to mix a RT with a Greek or Herman tort? Also, how do I introduce them? Do I just put the new tort in the current tort's ecnclosure? Will this upset my current tort? One more ?. When you purchase a tort from Turtle Source or Turtle Shack are you guaranteed thery don't have parasites? do you still need to take it to the vet for a parasite check?
So, here are my ?s:
1. Opinions, stories about having more than 1 tort.
2. Mixing Greeks or Hermans with a RT.
3. How to introduce the new tort to the current tort.
4. Where is the best place to get a captive bred tort that is reputable and parasite free?
Thanks!
