turtles with beardies

[gemfire1]

I was wondering if I am able to put a turtle in with my beardie? I was wanting to get one and put with him so he could have some company. Also I was thinking of getting a female to start breading, what are the ages that they start breading and can I keep them together always even after the babies are born? I am new at this my very first beardie I have had him almost a yr now. I LOVE HIM..

thanks for all the help

That would be a BIG NO! They have different habitat needs. Turtles grow very large and need big tanks. I have two turtles in a 75 gallon tank. They could use a larger tank, but it's not in the budget yet. I don't want to diswaid you , but breeding can be very expensive and you need to keep many set ups for the babies. They can't stay in one tank. They will cost alot to feed properly. Good luck!
