Haven't you got 5 females?...you'd need a male for a start!

Do you have a basking light to provide heat?

If you have a healthy sexually mature M/F pair and a good setup with correct temps etc, there's every chance they will breed. A period of separation and lower temps, followed by gradual raising of temps and then reintroduction may stimulate mating, apparently spraying lightly with water to simulate rain can help get them in the mood!

Whilst I have not bred Graptemys Species myself, in many other forms of Freshwater turtle a significant water change will often trigger courtship and providing the animals have been conditioned appropriately they will mate.
As usual, it is worth reading a few books on the subject, and one I regularly recommend is Keeping and Breeding Fresh Water Turtles, by Russ Gurley.
There is also an excellent website specifically on Graptemys!

I have that book and would recommend it as well.

Not quite sure why this thread has suddenly been revived after 5 months though, or what it has to do with alcohol addiction in Mississippi?
