Banging His head on little turtle

by Taz
(San Diego)

We have an about 15 year old desert tortoise and our in-laws just found a baby one at their house. Until we can find the owner we brought it home to keep safe. I just introduced it to our big turtle Ben, he is sniffing him and lightly bouncing his head on the baby turtle shell? what does that mean?

Its usually a sign of dominance, you need to separate them before the small one is hurt or killed...
