if you're keeping terrapins in the same tank, they should be of a similar size. otherwise the small one will get very stressed, because it will always be fighting for food, warmth, sunlight etc with the big boys - and lose. prolonged stress can then trigger immune system weakness and cause illness. But the bigger terrapin won't drown the smaller one.

if it's truly a terrapin then there shoulden't be enough water to drown him in
