baby Musk turtle question.

[MarkS]

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.

Ha, they're only beans to those east coast people with the funny accents.....

Here in the midwest they're stinkpots.

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.
