Yes, red eared slidersand yellow bellied slidersare both part of the slider family, so they are easy to cross breed. If you go to a pet shop, you will notice that most baby yellow bellied sliders have faint red 'ears' because they were interbred with red eared sliders.
A Red Eared Slider can only "procreate" (have young) with another Red Eared Slider but they have been known to "mate" (have sex) with Yellow Belly Sliders. They probably wouldn't try to mate with any other kind of turtle, other than a Slider.
Yellow belly sliders grow just under 1 foot in length.
Females have to be about 5-7 years old, 7 in. long. Males 2-5 years, old 4 inches long.
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.
Yes, yellow belly sliders are very good swimmers even when babies.

8 inches for males 13 inches for females I would suggest the male
No. Possibly, however most likely more than not
You can't visibly distinguish ears on them but they can definitely hear you. I've had my two yellow bellied sliders for about 2 or 3 years now and they come swimming to me when I call their names.
Yellow bellied sliders carry many types of diseases.
they can eat slugs worms live fish and dead fish bugs .
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.
