1. Can mottled turtles become ink turtles Mottled turtles usually cannot become ink turtles, because they can become ink turtles because they inherit the ink genes of the previous generation.

Because when grass turtles with ink genes grow up, male hormones and hormones in their bodies will stimulate them and make their whole body black.
