Thanks for reaching out. Whether they get along depends on the sex of the other turtles, the size of the tank, having multiple haul-out locations for bathing, water and basking temperatures/UVB exposure and food access. Hiding spots should be multiple also. All animals should be disease free prior to introduction. Good luck.
