I'm interested in a large (100 ) tank of small turtles... I was thinking of housing the following combo together unless there's any known problems-
spotted turtle
n.diamondback terrapin (cbb in freshwater)
eastern musk turtle
reeve's turtle
Thanks!
spotted turtle
n.diamondback terrapin (cbb in freshwater)
eastern musk turtle
reeve's turtle
HAVE KEPT ALL OF THESE.. and bred the spotteds, terrapins and reeves
spotteds live in very shallow water - poor swimmers.. more terrestrial than you might think
diamondback do much better in brackish water - need lots of water to swim in with basking spot
musk turle - bottom dweller.. also poor swimmer
reeves - poor swimmers.. not big baskers
you could keep all but terrapins in water with lots of plants, etc. so they could climb to surface to breathe / bask
