Default Black knobed map turtle and European pond turtle together?

Im getting some euro's from Hamm and I have been offered some black knobbed maps.
Just wondering if they can go outside together when adults. As babies I would keep them seperate until there big enough to go outside permenantly.

Just a thought as many people mix turtle species

Black Knobbed Saw back (Graptemys nigrinoda) are from the extreme south of the USA, in Alabama. I would have thought, whilst not a problem outside for the best of a UK Summer, this species would not be suitable for overwintering outside in the UK climate.
As for sharing accommodation with European Pond Turtles, possibly not the best choice of species together.
