How can you tell if your turtles are mating?

My 2 turtles I think are girls but they do this fluttery thing with their front paws.I heard this means that they are mating.

    That "fluttery thing" is also done to intimidate a competitor for space and food. It is not always foreplay to mating. You might need a larger tank for them.
