yes and no it dapends on how big and old they are so any one is right so dont get mad at each other p.s SORRY
a painted turtle. If it is bright orange it's a male, if it is dull it is female.
It could be a painted turtle. The Western Painted Turtle has no red stripes that I could see, but has a red pattern at the edge of the shell and the bottom of the shell(plastron) is pink with a large, dark design extending to the edges. Hope this helps
No, the leg will not grow back. You should take your turtle to the vet IMMEDIATELY your turtle could die from blood loss or infection.
NO. The eastern box turtle is a land turtle and the painted turtle is aquatic. If you had a habitat large enough that could accommodate a land area, a shallow water area and a deep water area it would be ok to house them together. The painted turtle would spend most of its time in the deeper water only coming on to land to bask, and the box turtle will spend the majority of its time on the land. They are not harmful to each other
If you're North American, it's probably a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrapene">box turtle</a>. There are several species in the USA, all of which appear fairly similar - usually brown to black with orange highlights.
Red-eared sliders. They are classified as semi-aquatic turtles- meaning they spend most of their time in the water but still require land.
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.
On the west side of the wall, people could paint. Eastern soldiers would yell, but no one was ever shot. On the Eastern side there was a strip of cleared area that no one could enter, no one painted the Eastern side.
If a painted turtle laid an egg after being taken home, it might display nesting behavior due to stress or environmental changes, but the egg could be infertile if it wasn't mated. Eating its own egg is not uncommon and could indicate that the turtle is either stressed or lacking suitable conditions to care for the egg. If the egg is eaten, nothing will happen next, as it will not develop into a hatchling. It's essential to return the turtle to its natural habitat if found far from water to ensure its well-being.
An alligator could eat a turtle in its shell, and a shark could eat a sea turtle in its shell.
A painted turtle may exhibit signs of loneliness if it becomes lethargic, spends excessive time hiding, or shows a lack of interest in food or activities. If it frequently basks alone or seems less active than usual, these could be indications of loneliness. Additionally, if the turtle is kept in isolation without companionship, it may benefit from having a tank mate or more interaction with its environment. Observing its behavior closely can help determine if it needs more social stimulation.
There is no difference. They are just two different names for the type of turtle.
