Yes they can as long as you follow the rule about 10 gallons per inch of shell for all turtles. For instance= 2 2 inch turtles need 40 gallons not just 20. Make sure the turtles are near the same size and you don't have two males or there will be aggression. Also, if you have a male and a female prepare for them to mate. Also, the tank gets dirtier a lot faster.
I have researched the same question and I read that painted turtles can only procreate with other painted turtles. Red eared sliders and painted will try to have sex but cannot reproduce
Ghost Red Eared Slider Turtles will get to be the same size as normal Red Eared Slider Turtles, which is 10-12 inches.
I have mine together in the same tank and they are fine so I don't see why not.
Musk turtles and red-eared sliders can coexist in the same tank, but there are important considerations. Musk turtles are generally smaller and may be more timid, so they could be bullied by the more active red-eared sliders. It's crucial to provide ample hiding spots and space to minimize stress and aggression. Additionally, ensure that the water conditions and habitat requirements align for both species to thrive.
I don't think there is such a thing as a yellow eared slider. Try looking up yellow bellied sliders. That's probably what you're looking for.
No, different types of turtles can only mate with each other if they are both part of the same sub species. for instance yellow belly sliders and red eared sliders can mate. but a painted turtle and box turtle would not mate.
It is natural for red eared sliders to shed, it only means they're growing! Take care of em the same as you'd treat a RES that isn't shedding at the time (:
You should only keep multiple Red eared sliders if they are from the same liter. If not they will fight each other. The ones from the same liter will just compete for food ,so give plenty.
Yes. Interbreeding between different subspecies is quite possible, such as red-eared sliders and yellow-bellied sliders, or Eastern box turtles and Ornate box turtles. Different species within the same genera is also possible, but the offspring are usually infertile. In very rare circumstances, two animals from different genera can interbreed, but they usually share a close evolutionary history.
I think it depends on the species. I have had two small red-eared sliders and two rather large gold-fish (they look like koi) in the same tank together. You must make sure that the fish have enough room to swim comfortably and that the water is not too deep for the turtles. It worked for me but the turtles refused to go in the water because they were afraid of the fish.
Same as any other animal, either old age or some kind of disease.
yes they can. they will get use to each other and will get along. red ear sliders are more timid than eastern painted turtles. so he may be scared of the other turtle at first. but they will learn to get along.
