I have tried many times to make the perfect tank setup for my mud and musk but cant seem to make the right one. I had a setup that consisted of a shallow area, cave, and baskign are all made out of rocks, but they out grew it so i tried something new, made a cave, basking area and shallow area out of wood, and they don't seem to enjoy it at all.

Can someone send me pics of there mud-musk tank, or does anyone know a website to buy premade tanks, i could really use the help, thanks to all for ur time

This is mine tank for my musk turtles

I haven't done it yet, but I want to experiment with an aquatic tank with a land area made from a small Sterilite container or some other small type of plastic container filled with mulch. I would weight down the container with flat stones at the bottom. Egg crate covered with Gutter Guard would be the ramp up to the container, and I'd probably have a small ramp inside of the container, too, to help keep mulch out of the water.

I switched one of my eastern muds to more of a box turtle set-up after she came down ill, and she enjoys burrying herself in the mulch. She'll come out at night to forrage in the water pan. I keep artificial plants in the water pan so that she feels safe and hiden at all times, which keeps her in the water longer. It seems to work for her.
