How old do yellow bellied turtles when thay start laying eggs?

I assume you are referring to yellow-bellied sliders (Trachemys scripta scripta). Most sliders reach maturity at age 4 to 8, and maturity times and sizes vary a lot. In general, a female should be at least 8 inches long. It's unwise to house male and female turtles together unless you are breeding them. A male will harass the female to mate, and she may get fed up with him at some point, and let him have it--then you have vet visits to treat the wounds, which can be serious. Additionally, if he 'convinces' her to mate and she is really too small/immature, she could suffer physically from producing a clutch before her body is entirely ready. Effects may including hypocalcemia or egg binding (which requires surgery to correct in some cases...if it's caught. If not, it is deadly).
