Most likely. Adult males and females can be pretty aggressive, so it's not a good idea. Female egg-laying is also very difficult for captive RES. They're also heavily over-populated, so I would not suggest it.

Females can do it when it's a territorial issue. I really hated separating my turtles but there was no choice if I wanted to keep both of them.
