That would depend on which legs they are digging with. If they are digging with their front legs then they are just digging to be digging because water turtles love to dig. I they are digging with their hind legs then there is a good possibility that she is trying to lay eggs. But as I said, water turtles like to dig.

Can a painted turtle breed with a red eared slider turtle?

A Painted Turtle can only "procreate" (have young) with another Painted Turtle but they have been known to "mate" (have sex) with Red Eared Sliders and Yellow Belly Sliders. They probably wouldn't try to mate with any other kind of turtle, other than a similar species of water turtle like maybe a Map Turtle. For instance, a painted Turtle probably would not try to mate with a Soft Shell Turtle or a Snapping Turtle (or any land turtle like a Box Turtle) because they would not recognize it as a possible mate. When a Painted Turtle tries to mate with a Slider, it is because its instincts are telling it that based on size, shape, and mating displays and behaviors, etc., it is another Painted Turtle. Interestingly, Red Eared Sliders and Yellow Bellied Sliders rages currently overlap and where they do there is a lot of unsuccessful mating going on between the two species but they cannot procreate. That is part of the "definition" of a separate species.


You found a orange and black turtle in the backyard will it bite?

the only way to know that is to see if it is going to bite anything... get a stick and put it softy on its nose and if it does not bite the stick then it is not going to bite you...but to make sure...pick it up by the back of the shell...just in case; at least for awhile.

Do eastern painted turtles have long claws?

Any turtle that has really long claws is most likely a male. That includes Eastern Painted Turtles. Other traits of the Eastern Painted Turtle are 2 yellow spots behind each eye and white stripes running down the throat. Red or orange stripes running down the legs and tail. The shell can be dark green to black in color, with golden or yellow stripes going horizontally across the shell. There might be a bit of a orange or yellow vertical stripe running down the middle of the shell. There are also red circles with red half circles and then a red dot in the middle, going around the edge of the shell.
