General Care Discussion :: cross breeding sliders and cooters

[jasoncop954]

is it possible that a male peninsula cooter can mate with a red eared slider and the eggs will be fertile

[Diamondbacks4Life]

They are close in relation so i can see that it could happen but chances are basically non exsistant. Chances of mating are basically non exsistant chance of eggs actually being fertile are non exsistant. So really the answer is basically no

the only slider x cooter hybrids i've seen, were eastern river cooter x red eared slider.

[jasoncop954]

Yes they mate almost every day and its successfully just wanna know if eggs will be fertile
