maybe your turtle is following the frog keep the frog in a separate cage if it is not following the frog its probably very safe
Yellow-bellied turtles, also known as yellow-bellied sliders, require clean, freshwater in their habitat. It is important to provide a large enough tank or pond with adequate filtration to maintain water quality. Water temperature should be maintained at around 75-85°F (24-29°C), and a basking area with a heat lamp should be provided for them to regulate their body temperature.

mid 70's up to 78 i keep my turtles yellow bellied sliders and map turtles outside in pond have a water heater in water. Plus when not sunny basking light and strip light for them.

No. Box turtles are complete land turtles and spend most of their time on land or soaking in a shallow water dish. Yellow Belly Sliders need a pond or large aquarium with a basking spot and UVB bulb. The two turtles housing needs are completely different and should not be mixed, So, the answer to your question is, No. Yellow Bellied Sliders and Box Turtles can NOT be housed together.
you can hold a yellow bellied terrapin but you have to hold them in a position where you can't drop them and remember that they can only spend up to 30minutes without water.
The temperature of the water should be about 75-80 degrees fahrenheit. I would say that 80 should be perfect.
Yellow-bellied sliders have several adaptations that aid their survival. Their flattened, streamlined shells allow them to swim efficiently in water, while their webbed feet facilitate strong paddling. Additionally, their bright yellow and black coloration provides camouflage among aquatic vegetation, helping them evade predators. They are also capable of basking in the sun, which helps regulate their body temperature and aids in the synthesis of vitamin D.
yes indeed they can but the water can have chemicals frog the bellied toad that can make the wood frog sick so water need to be changes daily
i feed mine water fleas
they sleep in water. at first they normally find something to hold onto near the top of the water so they can poke their nose out for air, but after a while when their heart rate slows they lay at the bottom for up to 40 minutes a time before going up for air.
yellow bellied water snakes have fangs and they do have poison glands but they have very limited amount of poison so they most likely will not bite you but if they were to bite you you will probably go into a coma and if you see a yellow bellied water snake just leave it alone and you will not have a risk so if i were you dont mess with them
