Ok when I came home last night from work, one of my painted hatchlings was laying at the bottom of the tank, so i reached in to try and make him move, but then I realized that he was dead!!!
Only two hatchlings hatched out of 8 eggs, the hatchlings where eating GREAT, they were very active! There was nothing in the bottom of the tank for him to choke on !!!
What could he have died from??? Could I have been stress, because two days ago I took them out to take the gravel off the bottom so they "wouldnt choke" because I have heard scary stories about that!!!
Im very sad!! I promised my aunt a turtle for her pond, but I only have one left! I wish I could get another one!!! The one that is still alive is swimming around the tank, I think he is looking for his brother, they used to sit next to each other basking in the heat, they did EVERYTHING together, where one went the other followed!!!
Im just wondering if you can keep two different species together in one tank?!? Lets say a painted turtle and a red eared slider!?! or any other species with a painted, could you keep a eastern painted with a western???
