Keeping two snapping turtles in the same aquarium can be challenging due to their territorial nature and potential for aggression. Snapping turtles may fight over space, food, or basking areas, leading to stress or injury. It's essential to provide a large, well-structured environment with plenty of hiding spots and ample resources if you choose to house them together. However, in many cases, it's safer to keep them separately to ensure their well-being.
