Sold my sulcata yesterday (long story, but basically, I was in a auto wreck about a year ago and will never again be able to safely lift over 40-45# and it gets too cold in the winter to leave a sulcata outside...and sulcatas have a way of growing...and growing!), so now have a fairly good sized enclosure (approx. 7' X 4 1/2') for other purposes, and was considering building a wall to divide it into two 3 1/2' X 4' areas...and adding boards in between current boards to make it escape/varmint proof for smaller torts, naturally.
My daughter's smaller "tortoisarium" for her Ornate box turtles:
My question is would it be safe to have two different species in this unit, or would they still be too close, and possibly be able to make one another ill?
Obviously, one side would be Hermann's, but I'm considering either my daughter's box turtles or a red-foot in the other area?
Thanks very much in advance for your thoughts/advice!
