Can i cross breed a map turtle and a eastern painted turtle?
Can i cross breed a map turtle and a eastern painted turtle? I am planning to get a male map turtle and a female painted turtle so can i cross breed them? Also will the map turtle and the painted turtle be happy with each other?
They can co-exist but if you try to cross them, all you will get are two very cross turtles.

They will be fine with each other as long as you are meeting both their needs and have a big enough tank however unfortunatly you cant breed them. Its like trying to breed a finch and canary- both are little birds but their biology is too diffrent for the baby making : ) Besides turtles are hard to breed in captivity even with the same species- well i shouldnt say "captivity" as much as a home envirement and in an aquarium.
so no babies but they can be together- creative queston by the way.
