Mud and Musk Turtle Update !

Hey everyone. So the new ones are the two 3 Stripe Mud Turtles (K. Baurii) living with the two stinkpots in the same tank. Doing well. There is a single fake plant, and a bunch of live plants and two moss balls. It is filtered by a Reptifilter 350.

How do you clean the tanks that are over 40gallons? You do a complete take out the whole entire water out and replace it with new water?

@folsomtu Right now I only have a 150. Maybe once a month I drain 60% and refill it. THis is mainly to clear the water from tannins.

i was thinking of getting two baby turtles a mud and a musk. how do you think theylle get on cos i dont want them killing eachother???? and how easy are these two types of turtle to care for like effort wise and financiall ???? xx

[perpetualwandrer]

@1forharry Well, it all depends on the turtle's personality. They can get along for years and then start fighting. They are not social animals by nature. I would look into some care guides, but considering they are a smaller species, they are easier to the wallet.

hey, i'm getting a turtle and i really want a musk, what type would you reccomend like common musk, razor back etc, i don't want him too big and i deffo want a boy, if you could help that would be great :)

[perpetualwandrer]

@Taylorrosee96 For smaller musks I love Common Musks and Stripenecks. Stripenecks are more difficult to find and much more expensive and grow to about 5 inches while common musks are 3.5-4 inches usually. Other than that they really are the same interms of care. If you want a boy, you will need to buy an adult generally. Hatchlings are too small to sex out right. From there its up to you.
