Well first a boy turtle and girl turtle fall in love, then they go the turtle area of the stork shop and pick out the prettiest shiniest egg there is...

Sorry, no I don't really know anything for sure.

and you shouldn't try to breed turtles. There are enough unwanted RES out there.

Besides, can you care for a dozen baby hatchlings?
2 Chinese Goldenthread turtles ~ Miso&Mafan
1 Chinese Box turtle ~ Chief Lemon
2 Redfoot Tortoises ~ Sheegua & Muugua
1 Toy Poodle ~ Pudding
3 firebellied newts ~ Cassandra, Mr.Poo, and Wiggles.

lol! If your female does lay eggs you can destroy them to prevent them from growing.

Well the best way to prevent pregnancy is abstinence, and this goes for turtles as well. Separate them.
