: I was wondering, from the post's below, if those of you who do mix different species are paying such a small amount $ for your tortoise/turtles, that you can well afford to "play russian ruelette" with them.
: My theory is that those of you who are paying say $15-$30 for a "boxie", $40 for Russians, less than £100 for most other species, can well afford to mix them.
: Unlike us here in the UK, where £150 ($225) is more like the normal everyday price of the boxies, with Russians, Sulcatas, Leopards coming in at around £200 ($300). The Testudo species are around £100-£150 cb. Spiders around £600+ each.

: Could this be why some of you are allowing the species to mix?
: There are many ppl who have lost entire collections from disease's, even after a quarrantine period, due to the fact that "bugs" which one specie can tollerate another specie can not.

: Just wondering......
