RES Help

[mt2]

I have a female pink belly side neck turtle and a male red ear slider in the same tank. The male RES has become aggressive towards the female pink belly and she has laid eggs multiple times. Should I rehome them?

Just separate them or rehome one and keep your favorite.

Any ideas on how to rehome?

I wish I could help. RES MIGHT be the most populous turtle on the planet. In some areas they are considered invasive pests. Plus they get SO big, that people can’t keep them in aquariums very long.
Your best bet might be a friend who has an outdoor pond. [emoji51]

I'm new to tortoises but very familiar with water turtles. How big is their enclosure, and by aggressive what do you mean? What behavior is the male exhibiting? The eggs aren't fertile, this is going to happeneven without a male present sometimes
