When you breed Turtles can you breed internally?? Or would they come out irregular like can adult turtles breed if their parents were the same?

Do you mean in-breeding? That's never a good idea.

ok, well i guess because when I was in the Philippines they did that with dogs. One more thing, in the wild parents leave their young right so if one of the "sons" about 3 years down the road met the mom would they even try to do the ritual or would they know that they were related to eachother?

ewwww

that's a great question...really makes you think

It's a reminder for those who have purchased turtles from the same place/breeder.

Interesting question. I'm not sure if siblings mated there would be any strange consequences. With some other animals, it can cause congenital weakness (I've read there's currently controversy over breeding race horses this way). If you mean species in-breeding, however, some subspecies can mate (i.e. RES and YBS). This is not generally encouraged, however, and the resulting hybrid, I've read, would be unable to reproduce.

like mules? they can't breed I've heard....but their donkey and horse parents certainly can. It's kinda like the aeon flux movie where they were cloning people and making them sterile...prolly not a great idea to mess with nature too much.
