Musk Turtle is growing

The Musk turtle is getting bigger. Now that this one and the Texas Mud turtle are in their own tank, I think they will do better. The larger turtles in the other tank have a tendency to nip at the smaller turtles.

Musk Turtle

Musk Turtles are climbers! This little turtle climbed out of its aquatic habitat and then went climbing up the chicken wire. The balcony was on a second floor, so the turtle was lucky it did not go the other way and fall down to the pavement. This photo is from around 1979.
