Expert Answer

Turtle mating mostly happens in late spring to early summer. Before mating, the male sniffs the female’s cloaca with his nose, then chases her. If she refuses, she flees; he keeps chasing and bumping until mounting her back.

After about 10 minutes the male finishes and climbs down. If she conceived, she usually lays eggs about a month later.
