MALE IS BITING HER IN THE FACE ARMS PRETTY HARD ITS NOT ALL THE TIME BUT I SEE HIM IT ALOT

PLZ HELP
 
Tank is probably too small. What size is it?
 
Need more room, separated and better setup. I'm not a turtle expert so I'll let them chime in. That is not proper setup though.
 
If thats what you're keeping them in, then its way to small... They need only to be separated if you aren't going to put them in a bigger enclosure. Small spaces like that they will bite each other and can cause some serious injuries. I suggest a bigger setup ASAP or move the female until you can get one, bc she wont stop
 
Holy crud...That's too small to house all of them in. They're being aggressive because they are competing for space. The bullying of her won't stop unless you separate, or get a MUCH bigger enclosure.
