Hey folks,



I'm a long time herp keeper and I'm looking to break into the world of muds and musks.

First off, do any of you have suggestions for hard literature on the captive care of these turtles? Also, the breeds I'm looking to ultimately keep are Common Musks, Razorback Musks, Loggerhead or Stripeneck musks, and Three Lined Muds. I have a 150 gallon tank that I plan on using, which seemed like enough floor space, but do you foresee any problems housing these species together? Do you have any suggestions for the best manufactured dry diet to use? I've used ZooMed's for painteds before which seemed to work well, but is anything else better for these species? And, finally, can you point me towards any reputable breeders for these species?



Thanks a lot and I appreciate any answers to any parts of this post,



Pete
