i have a variety of turtles(10 total). they range from red eared sliders to painted box turtles, a soft shell turtle, river musks and an african box turtle. my question is do any of those turtles change there sex once they mate with another turtle? ive noticed that since one of the three red eared sliders mated with another turtle the other two which are males try to mate with that one inparticular. is it just the red eared sliders or do all turtles change sex after they mate?

the two turtles most probably smell the female on that particular male, and therefor think it is a female, but no turtles don't change their sexes, sorry dude maybe they are even gay

Turtles are not known to be able to change sex once hatched.
Young turtles can be very tricky to properly sex so it is likely that earlier estimates of sex were inaccurate.
Some questions:
1. There are no such things as 'painted box turtles' or 'African box turtles'. The African box is probably one of the Asian box turtles (Cuora species). The 'painted box' is probably either a Painted turtle or a true Box turtle. If this is a typo, no problem, but if someone told you this is what they were you NEED to get them ID'ed right so you can give them the right care- Asian boxes, painted turtles and American boxes all need VERY different kinds of care and habitats.
2. I hope these are not all in one tank. For one thing, it would have to be a HUGE tank (figure 10 gallons of swimming water per inch of turtle. With 10 turtles an average of 4" long, you'd need 400 gallons of water!)
3. Further, some of these guys will not do well together in the long run. Softshells get shell fungi easily, want sandy bottoms and shallow water. American box turtles want dry land, while some Asian boxes want land, others want water, and some need lots of both.

I only know that normal land turtles (the usual kind) don't change sex. I don't know any details about your kinds.

No, turtles cannot change their sex. You probably have made a mistake sexing them.

permit's coach some extra formerly. [9:a million] An ultimatum is herein issued from GOD and His messenger to the idol worshipers who enter right into a treaty with you. [9:2] consequently, roam the earth freely for 4 months, and be responsive to which you will't get away from GOD, and that GOD humiliates the disbelievers. [9:3] A proclamation is herein issued from GOD and His messenger to each and all the folk on the large day of pilgrimage, that GOD has disowned the idol worshipers, and so did His messenger. for that reason, in case you repent, it would be extra effective for you. yet once you swap away, then be responsive to which you will on no account get away from GOD. Promise people who disbelieve a painful retribution. [9:4] If the idol worshipers sign a peace treaty with you, and don't violate it, nor band inclusive of others against you, you shall fulfill your treaty with them till the expiration date. GOD loves the righteous. [9:5] as quickly as the Sacred Months are previous, (and that they decline to make peace) you're able to kill the idol worshipers once you stumble upon them, punish them, and arise to each pass they make. in the event that they repent and word the touch Prayers (Salat) and provide the mandatory charity (Zakat), you shall enable them to pass. GOD is Forgiver, maximum Merciful. [9:6] If between the idol worshipers sought risk-free passage with you, you shall grant him risk-free passage, so as that he can hear the be responsive to GOD, then deliver him decrease back to his place of protection. it incredibly is as a results of the fact they are people who don't be responsive to. Why do no longer you write the entire ingredient in context? they only have been given 4 months to alter or they have been to go through. the only ingredient the pagans did incorrect grew to become into no longer settle for allah. I hate having to quote from that e book. i think of you're able to shop on with your guy or woman advice approximately what to do with verses. God Bless.
