Description

The common musk turtle, also known by its scientific name Sternotherus odoratus, is a small aquatic turtle native to the waters of the USA and Canada. This species of turtle grows to a maximum size of 10 cm and has a dark skin color without patterning.

For a species-appropriate keeping, common musk turtles need an aquaterrarium with a capacity of at least 200 l, which should contain both a water and a land part. The water temperature should be between 22 and 30 degrees Celsius, and the pH should be between 6 and 8. For basking, the turtles need a UV lamp, while a land part should be accessible through climbing opportunities such as woods or tree trunks.

In terms of diet, common musk turtles are primarily predatory and prefer live or frozen foods such as worms, guppies, insects or snails. Occasionally, you should feed a vegetable diet as well.

Common musk turtles can be successfully bred in an aquaterrarium as they lay eggs. A clutch can contain up to 10 eggs. However, it is important to note that this species of turtle is not compatible with shrimp.

In summary, common musk turtles require a spacious aquaterrarium with both water and land sections, appropriate water temperature and pH, a UV lamp for basking, and a balanced diet of live or frozen foods and occasional plant foods.

Hallo Kim,

da würde ich mir nicht viel Mühe geben mit der Bepflanzung. Es entspricht der Natur der Tiere, das Pflanzen nie lange überleben

Question: "Hallo, können sie mir sagen ob sie diese Schildkröten bald wieder anbieten? "
