Common Musk Turtle CB24

Musk turtles are small turtles reaching around 5inches as adults. They are found in North America and inhibit streams, rivers and lakes.

Musk Turtle hatchlings are extremely small, around the size of a one pence piece. They are dark when little and develop light brown and yellow colouring as adults.

Musk turtles enjoy an aquatic environment with a land basking site which they can climb on to bask if they choose. They also require UVB which they would receive from the sun in the wild. This helps to keep their bones and shell strong.

Musk turtles enjoy a mixed diet of insects, worms and some fish as well as dry turtle foods.
