Species should never and I repeat NEVER be mixed, and pairs do not work.

Cherry head and radiata require much different care and environment from each other. Don't split your table. Make a new one.

Oh no!!!! That's horrible.... I wish people wouldn't disassociate themselves from the animal behaviour of their torts. I love to see my girls as my little monsters / dinosaurs..... my table is my evolutionary time capsule. But I could never trust Artemis with one of the smaller two. I know Grizelda would probably smell like a fine snack.
