yes, you can. i have a very large turtle and a smaller turtle in the same tank and they get along fine. if you see the large one chasing the other, it may have food in its mouth so feed them at opposite ends of the aquarium. or, if your big turtle is a male, he might want to mate. to detract them from chasing each other have a hiding place for the small one and give feeder fish to keep the turtles busy. and i suggest each turtle having their own basking rock. my turtles get along fine.

Do snapping turtles get along with painted turtles?

As babies snapping turtles get along with all kinds of turtles. once the snapping turtle gets big enough, it starts to realize it is stronger and bigger than the other turtles. At that point it gets very aggressive. I have a 6 month old snapping turtle that is very calm and stays away from the other turtles. My friend's snapping turtle though, is another story. His snapper is always trying to bite the other turtles limbs but is to slow is the deep water.

Do turtles eat everyday?

Actually turtle do not eat other turtles as their daily life food. Baby turtle may eat fish food from the store. Make sure that the fish food is really small though or the turtle may not eat the food. When the turtle gets bigger, you can feed the turtle green veggies. You can feed them different veggies too. Be sure that the veggies are soft because the turtle cannot chew hard foods, such as carrots.


Can slider turtles and painted turtles be in the same tank?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. However, turtle shells should not be painted. The paint prevents the shell from growing with the turtle, and it amounts to slow suffocation and death for the painted turtle. first he did not paint the turtle that's the type of turtle he has second yes they can be in the same tank.

Why turtles are fighting with smoll turtle?

Turtles are not inherently social creatures. Keeping turtles of vastly different sizes together is often a bad idea because the larger turtle(s) are capable of causing serious injuries to the smaller turtles if they feel their territory is not being respected. (and often the whole tank is "their" territory!) I have successfully kept small turtles with small turtles and large turtles with other large turtles, but mixing sizes often results in disaster. I would recommend moving the smaller turtle into a new habitat either for the rest of its life or at least until it's large enough to try putting it with the other turtle(s) again.
