Is there something wrong with my saw shell?

[Jhan50]

Hey guys, I bought a baby saw shell turtle today and i put it in the tank with my Murray short neck, my short necks pretty active but my saw shell just sits at the bottom doing nothing, only moving when i feed it or when its coming up to breath. Is their something wrong with my saw shell?

i would say its scared , give it time to get used everything .
u know u shouldnt have put it straight in with the other turtle , it should have been put in quarrintine . for atleast 30 days to make sure there was no issues with it .

I agree wiith zoojas, just a bit scared of the new tank. Have you got lots of plants he can hide in?
