Do turtles mate for life, and what does the mating behavior of different turtle species look like? Are there specific conditions or factors that influence their mating rituals?

turtles do not mate for life as a general rule. they mate when ever they happen across each other. Some species of turtles can retain fertilized eggs within themselves for up to 3 years awaiting the proper conditions for egg laying.

that being said, in captivity some females have been known to develop a “liking” for a certain male and to avoid other males in preference. But thats far from a “mate for life ” situation.

Nope. If you have one mating make in a tank with 3 mating females you better believe all 3 females will be popping out fertilized turtle eggs. ?
