Use caution when introducing two turtles, especially if there is a significant size difference. Determining gender is critical also since females tend to be more aggressive and territorial than male sliders. Be sure to provide a large enough tank. The general rule is 10 gallons of water per inch of turtle. Two turtles may require a 120 gallon tank. It is possible the tank may need to be larger. Basic provisions include a water filter, water heater, basking platform, heat lamp and UVB lighting. A balanced diet will consist of fresh greens and vegetables, animal protein and commercial pellets. You can review slider care at the link below. http://www.anapsid.org/reslider.html
