West African side-necked turtles should not be raised together with razor turtles, although their environmental requirements are similar and they are all tropical turtles. However, their body shapes are quite different in adulthood, and the size of West African side-necked turtles is larger in adulthood, generally between 20 and 30 cm. Razor turtles are small in size when they are adults, and most of them are between 15 and 17 cm. There is a big difference in size between them. If they are raised together, big turtles may bully small turtles. In addition, West African side-necked turtles and razor turtles are lively and aggressive. If there is not enough breeding space, there may be competition for chassis.

Razor turtles are deep-water turtles, omnivorous animals, can eat more kinds of food, and have strong adaptability, so they are more suitable for mixing with other turtles. If you want to mix them with other turtles, you should choose some turtles that like to live in deep water. Also choose some turtles with the same size or mild personality, which are more suitable for musk turtles, map turtles, round Australian turtles and so on. Razor tortoises in their infancy can be mixed with Chinese grass tortoises and Brazilian tortoises. When they are adults, the water level they need will be on the high side, so they are not suitable for mixed breeding with them.
