Turtles are pets that go outdoors or indoors, but where turtles cohabit affects the timing and behavior of mating. Turtles During the spring and early summer, turtles mature sexually in the wild. Courtship and mating Males often follow females and smell them before the courtship ritual begins. Aquatic turtles stay with potential mates. Males flutter their front paws around the female's face. In some species, the female responds to a signal if she is ready to mate. The males then mount on the female from behind and pass their tails from the penis with the semen in her cloaca. It is common for more than one male to get close to the female, so that the female can choose between them.
