Hi everyone, Been awhile since I posted. My husband is surprising me with two new juvenile turtles.. they arrive Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. I am getting a 2-3" mississippi map and a 2-3" western painted turtle. I have never gotten turtles in the mail before, can you give me any tips about unboxing and putting in the tank. I want to start these two off together in same tank and hope for the best that they remain compatible as they age. One question I have is,,, should I quarantine them from each other for a while? If so, how long of a quarantine. They are coming from two different vendors.
Thank you for your advice and tips in advance...
