sternotherus m. minor, s.m.peltifer, & kinosternon f. flavescens. You should make your heading clear to include muds as there are only 8 species of actual musk with minor technically being subspecific. I own several kinosternids but these 3 are some of the most inquisitive. I also have s. odoratus, k. Scorponoiodes, s. carinatus, k. Leucostumun, k. S. Subrubrum, a minor intergrade & red cheek/white lip hybrid.
