Default Advice on new tort (indian star)

I have just recently old my car and have enough spare cash to but another tort or two!!

i currently only have a 11 month old margenated tort as many of you know.

Anyway with been new to this i always like to get advice before doing something so would like advice/opinions on what i should do?

do i need to buy the same species?

would murtle be ok living with a indian star tort (as my girl friend really likes these) Or do indian stars need different care and setup?

if i bought another margenated would it be wise to buy two at the same time rather than just the one?

thanks in advance for any replys

oh and just thort id make the post less borring and put up a pic of murtles tempary outdoor encloseur and the area i am hoping to build a bigger one eventually.

Why not stay with the same species?

That would be your best bet.

If you want to keep a new tort(s) with your current marginated then I'd stick with the same species. Don't forget you'll need to quarantine your new tort(s) before putting with yours so if you think you'll want more then I'd definitely go for two now.

cool. i may have to find out where i can get a couple from then! i was only thinking of getting another species due to my girlfriend liking the indian star and also alot of ppl on here seem to have different ones and i thought it might have been a good thing to mix them up!!!

like i say im new to this but really enjoying having murtle as a pet!!!
