I have a red-eared slider that is about 1.5 years old. I just bought a baby Cumberland Slider (was unaware that this is ill-advised until AFTER having acquired it).
The Red Eared is about 6 inches and the Cumberland is very, very small. The Red Eared is "waving" or "shaking" it's hands at the baby. I've read so many different opinions. Is this simply a sign of dominance? The Red Eared has not done anything to the baby just follows it around at times. I was unsure what to do so I removed the Cumberland from the tank for the evening and the Red Eared frantically searched the tank looking for it--made such a ruckus it sounded like someone was in the kitchen opening and closing cabinet doors. He was pushing quite large rocks around and moving his platform.
Any thoughts?
