New loggerhead

SteveH Oct 17, 2006 10:57 PM

I just got a new loggerhead. At least its supposed to be one. i find it hard to tell the difference between loggerheads and razorbacks. my question is at what size to they max out at and at what temp do they stop eating and brumate? i've heard they live in spring waters where the water is cool. thanks, Steve

I believe Loggerheads and about half the size of Razorbacks and a much flatter shell than a razorback . I think Razorbacks look like Trojans . I'm sure there are more " experts " in this forum that can give you specifics on the two species. Both are very cool species and stay small . The more I look at mud and musks turtles the more I want ! Who said you can't have too many turtles !!!!

I've heard with common musks that they usually stop eating when the water temp gets below 60. I have a snapper outside that has slowed down some but is still eating and I'm sure the water temp is above 60.
