Product Description

Stinkpots or common musk turtles are mostly aquatic and do very well as resident“garbage disposals.”They readily eat pellets, even ones that have settled to the bottom, along with any protein matter they are offered.

They do well in community tanks so long as they are with slightly larger, more active turtles - as they sometimes nip the tails of their cage mates.

Once accustomed to people, they are fascinating to watch as they forage about the bottom of their tank. As adults they thrive in both larger tanks and outdoor ponds.

    Came very healthy, energetic and easily adapted to the new tank. Was a little big for a hatchling, almost the same size as my 1 year old stinkpot.

    A+ service!

    The musk turtle I ordered was DOA. I was anxious about having to deal with customer service and anticipated them taking forever to get back to me. But I got a call back less than an hour! The lady was great and very sympathetic. She shipped another one out right away and he came on time and in great shape! He’s the cutest little dude ever!!!!! Im really really impressed with the customer service!

    Musk Turtles Purchase

    Posted by Lilith Crawford on Jul 26th 2023

    We had a great experience, the turtle source communicated with us because our area was going to be extremely hot and directed us to what ups store we could pick our little guys up from. Fast service and very easy. We are so happy and grateful to turtle source for helping us with our new family members
