1. Generally the males have small bodies and bigger tales with color and the females look plain. Females sometimes do have color though, one of mine does. The rest of my females are half black and half white though. They all looked the same until they reached maturity though. That is when the males became decorative and distinctive in size.
2. It took mine like two months I think, maybe less. (not a very long time)
3. As long as you aren't over crowding your cage, your turtles won't mind them. If anything, your turts will just eat them.
4. It seems like all the time. When I housed my males and female together, I had babies almost every month to six weeks.
5. If you don't want babies, none. If you do, I had one female and one male, now I have about ten males and six females, but now they are separated. If you want more info about them, just google them. That's how I learned about them.
If you want the babies to survive, you need to give them some shelter, I have fake plants, a bunch of caves, and some lily pads (they are upside down, because Mikey won't let them sit right side up). My babies would hide in the lily pads until they were bigger.
