General Care Discussion :: would a yellow-bellied slider mate with a map turtle

[Rocky YBS]

i have two turtles, one map turtle(female) and one yellow-bellied slider(male).
because they are different breeds, will they still mate?
any sudjestions

[DavidY]

He he, male turtles will attempt to mate with a rock! If they're attracted to each other, they will mate. Whether the eggs will be fertilized or not, I'm not sure. But if they do, you will have a bunch of hybrid turtles on your hands. Some say that is not a good thing.
