Hello folks! first time poster here
so i have been raising 3 red eared sliders for the past 7 years now. Unfortunately, one of my male turtles was basically murdered by my larger female turtle. It seems that she bit his head off leaving only the tendon to connect whats left of the head to the body. (RIP my poor baby boy). I know in the past he impregnated her (egg never survived because it was laid in water) and always fancied her. She has bit his tail multiple times before but usually it would just be a bit of bleeding and thats it. I would consider her to be aggressive because she literally bites everything (ie. stick a pencil inside and she'll bite it!) i have another male turtle that is alot smaller but has quick reflexes so he has been surviving (haha)
my question is what should i do with my turtle? i dont want my smallest turtle to have the same fate as my other one so should i give my female one away? i know seperating her into a different tank is an option but my home just doesnt have enough space for two tanks. any help would be appreciated.
