Wanna see what I can do, I know mud and musks can. What other types of turtles can be kept together? Or if it makes it simpler, what types of turtles can't be kept with other turtles?

Also, FRT are still illegal in US right? You cant get them legally?

Thanks

I've kept many different species together myself. Just trial and error really. I find the American pond turtles (sliders, painteds, cooters, etc) too aggressive for the small Asian pond turtles as well. Maps seem okay. Softshells, snappers, FRTS, mata matas and snakenecks are a no no for turtle communities.

IIRC FRT's are listed on CITIESII which means they are illegal to EXPORT from their native habitat, but not illegal to import from other areas or own. Like SimonL said, cohabbing is pretty much trial and error. I had a RES and Florida Peninsula Cooter together with no problems.
