You gotta be kidding me ..

my blandings try to mate with NA wood ....
Wtf is wrong with this blandings turtle ? Not just the interracial part , but both turtles are just around 2-3 years old , less than 3 inches

Could this possibly be bullying and dominance behavior more than sex?

(They're both GORGEOUS animals, btw!!!! )

I was thinking the same thing.

Blanding's and NA Woods will mate readily. And aggressively. Both species are very aggressive anyway, particularly the Woods. Together as hatchlings? Maybe. 3 yrs old? You're flirting with disaster.

I thought they still “yearlings “ because I remember both species matures around 10 yrs old ?
Does it mean for sure that my blandings is male ?
