I have a male Razorback Musk Turtle & a female Florida Musk Turtle in a tank together & they show constant signs of mating like rituals. The Razorback male seems the dominant one & is constantly clinging to & riding on the Florida Musk's back & sometimes the female is sniffing at his genitals. With dogs or cats different breeds can breed. Does anyone know if a Razorback can breed with a Florida Musk ? Please let me know ! Bill

There have been a number of colubrid snakes that have been crossed in captivity that are not even in the same genus. Kingsnakes have been bred to cornsnakes and bullsnakes and so on. Some of the offspring have even proved to be fertile which throws the taxonomists into a frenzy, questioning everything they thought they knew.
Although your two turtles are not subspecies of one another, they are in the same genus.
My guess is that they could produce viable eggs.
