baby Musk turtle question.

So, what are the best water temps for baby musk turtles? I picked up 6 of them recently and they're pretty small. Also, should I keep them together or split them up?

I had some when I was a kid that i caught in the wild. i kept them at about 78 degrees in a group of 4 and they did fine the whole summer I kept them.

Well BG calls them Stinkpots also. BG has some great pics of them up in trees. Those turts can seriously climb some trees.

I have two razor back musks as mascotts in my snake room, they are kept around 72 degrees. I have had them together for three years now. They seem to be growing at the same rate. Keep a eye on them as there may be some doninant ones in the group that will out eat the others causing them to grow slower than normal.
