Overview

Hailing from the ponds scattered across the Eastern United States, stretching from the verdant landscapes of Texas to the picturesque reaches of New York, Mud turtles have emerged as favored pets, primarily due to their diminutive stature. With a typical length seldom exceeding five inches, these aquatic turtles epitomize compactness and charm. While their care regimen aligns with that of other aquatic counterparts, Mud Turtles distinguish themselves by their semi-terrestrial tendencies. In stark contrast to the sun-worshipping behavior observed in numerous reptilian species, especially aquatic turtles, Mud Turtles exhibit minimal inclination towards basking. Instead, they prefer to devote their time to leisurely strolls, concealing themselves beneath foliage, or settling snugly onto the submerged floors of shallow ponds. While they may thrive under the care of older children capable of providing adequate attention, Mud Turtles might pose safety concerns as pets for younger children. Given their dual reliance on both land and water habitats, their custodians must possess an intermediate skill level in constructing and maintaining tank and terrarium environments.
