I have 2 RES turtles. One is about 5 in and the other is about 2 in. We just put them in the same tank together and the bigger turtles keeps doing the mating dance to the little turtle. Will and when will the mate?

This past spring we were given a female box turtle by a friend, they got her at a yard sale, so no one knows how long she has been in captivity or if she was ever wild. We also have a male box turtle. We have had him for over 5 yrs. He was rescued off an inerstate and thought to be dead with a cracked shell. he healed and is a classroom pet. He leaves for the summer to go to a summer program to teach kids about turtles in the wild. After he left, the female started laying eggs. I am having trouble finging out much abot turtle eggs. Wil these be ferlte after the male is gone. How many eggs will she lay. Will she lay unfertle eggs? Should I incubatethe eggs? At what temperature should they be ekpt? We have provided her with a bowl of dirt in her cage and keep it moist. That’s where the eggs are now. Any info. will be greatly appreciated. thank you.

I live in Melbourne and i want two turtles ive got a few questions:
-What type of turtle should i get. (i would prefere one that is small and the maximum it will reach is 8 inches long
-One that will hibernate
-will survive hot summer weather
-and that isnt aggressive or mean to other animals
- Can protect itself against preditors
- PRETTY!!!!!

I have two Japanese slider turtles, Otto and Valentina, who are outgrowing their current tank—a simple plexiglass box with pebbles, which I have to wash out twice a week. I want to invest in a great home for them and need to know what to look for.

I received two turtles as a b-day gift: a black one with yellow belly, and a green one with black dots on the back. They gave them to me in a fish tank, food (little kind-of shrimps) and anti-chlorine; but they never said how often do I have to feed them, if I have to grind the little shrimps before I feed them, how often do I have to change the water, etc. Any tips?

My mom wants a fish tank with some animals, like snails, fish, and a turtle.

I know you can put snails and fish in the same tank, but what about turtles? Would a turtle need a seperate tank?
I don’t mind the turtles eating fish, I was just wondering if they could be kept together is all.
We don’t plan on keeping tropical fish with the turtle. Just regular fish you’d find at petsmart you know?
Also, if they turtle was to eat the snail would that hurt the turtle?

I have two rather small turtles (one is a little more than 1 1/2 inches and the other is about 1 1/2) I don’t know their species but I’m just wondering if there is a general length and width. Will they get bigger than that or will they stay small? I mean they are adorable and all but they are also cool when they get big.
I can’t exactly email any new question caue my browser is being a pain in the ****. But i’ll say that these turtle kind of look like box turtle except they have a point on their shell where it looks like it’s been pinched up. it’s a normal shell except there a small pinch in the middle of the shell. they were bought in South Carolina too if that helps to identify it’s species

Ok my filter does not work and i feel sorry for my turtles but i dont want to clean them once every 2 weeks! My dad wants to get rid of them but i do like them! what should i do listen to my dad and give them to my friend rachel or keep them so that they can live in dirty water but i am going to clean it! I just want to know what to do!

I’ve had my baby turtles for two years already, but I still cant figure out wether theyre male or female. There’s obviously no peepee or ****** involve on this one, so how do I know?
Come on people! I’m serious^_^
