Located in the newly opened Boone Creek Conservation, this is a regular clear plastic container. The view is FANTASTIC from the new shelter though so be sure to check it out while you are there!
Unlike other mush turtles, the Common Musk Turtle does not tolerate brackish water. They prefer slow moving or still water. They seem to defy gravity by climbing up near 90 degree angles branches. With surprising strength and a fierce grip, they will hold their hefty bodies well above water. When are you most likely to find these turtles?
