I have two new 3-stripe mud turtle hatchlings. One hatched on July 17, the second on the 20th. Eggs were laid on April 13th. Their habitat is a 24" x 17" acrylic tank, water depth is 5". Tank is very heavily planted with a 'shallow area' composed of moss.
hey bauribob, if u dont have plants in a tank, how shallow water?

@sammytheshark1 It would help if you told me what you were going to have in the tank in place of plants. If you're talking about a bare tub of water (I hope not), then probably an inch or so since it will have no place to get out of the water or rest.

@TheMysteryman334 I usually keep a lot of anacharis plants in the tank. They are long, stringy plants that don't require rooting.
