housing/health question
Hi guys.
I am getting two aquatic turtles on Wednesday. I am not sure what species they are but I am assuming and planning for R.E.S. of course.
Anyways both turtles are babies. I wasn't clear on it but I think both are around 1-3 inches long and they are currently living together in a ten gallon tank. I am setting up a 60 gallon for them but I am wondering if I should house them together? Any thoughts?
And my health question is I am going to assume they have some health issues because these people know nothing about reptiles and got these as a novelty. If they come with shell issues what can I bathe them in to clear some of the common problems up? When I got my current RES, I just gave him plain baths, but scrubbed him gently with a toothbrush, that and the hot basking site + UV seemed to clear up some white fungus he had and made his shell look 100% better.
Thanks for any input.
Marisa
