Hey all!
So that tort bug has bit me again and I'm researching another tort.
I want something that needs a similar environment as my Red Foot (as to keep things simple) and the Manouria emys came up as a compatible environment match. Plus, they really interest me.
In your guys' opinion, how do you think the personality of a Black Burmese Mt. tort. would match up with that of a RF? My little man is very active and a curious sort.
Would I be able to let them interact? Would they be able to live in the same enclosure?
I know they get slightly bigger, would a Burmese pick on my male (he's already 8" currently, has potential to reach 15", depending)?
Should I get a female to avoid pissing matches during any interaction?
Just throwing this out there before I seriously decide to pull the trigger on anything, so any quirks, knowledge or gushing about the species would be greatly appreciated .
