No. They are part of the same family, but that's it. They belong to different genera.

Red eared slider:

Genus
Trachemys

Species
Scripta

Subspecies
Elegans

Painted turtle:

Genus
Chrysemys

Species
Picta

Subspecies
Eastern (picta)
Midland (marginata)
Western (belli)
Southern (dorsalis)

The two species cannot produce offspring.
