I recently found a baby mud turtle.I would like to see how some of you setup your turtle cages.ty

Here are pics of my outdoor setup for my 2 female Mississippi Muds. They will come inside in the winter, I don't have pics of their inside enclosure as it is not set up yet. Don't know where you live, but for now you might be able to keep them outside. This pool was only $10 and the rocks/bricks I already had laying around. They like to hide so I have lots of plants. I've seen them out basking even though I read they don't normally bask. Good luck and have fun!

This is Squirt

This is Shyanne (Annie)

I like that setup very much.Can you tell me what type of plants those are and if they are real or not.Also where can I buy them at thx alot.

I know it starts with an H but don't remember if it's Hibiscus or Hyacynth. Probably Hyacynth. They came free with the turtles, haven't bloomed yet, can't wait to see what the flowers will look like. They run about $5 each at my local nursery. Check out yours and see if they have a pond section. I also have some other type of plant I bought. Feather something or other. Next year I'm getting some water lillies but too late this year. They are $25 each so I'll just wait till spring.
