Product Description
Mexican Giant Musks are one of the very best tank turtles. Excellent swimmers, they do well in shallow water, they get along very well with other mud and musk turtles. They are incredible predators, and will pretty much eat what ever they can catch. We raise ours on fish, meat and pellets. They will also take some plants.
Featured in an article in the March 2008 issue of Reptiles Magazine, S. Triporcatus is the largest of the Mexican Giant Musk Turtles. They range from the Yucatan Peninsula, into parts of Honduras Guatemala and Belize.
If you're looking to keep a very hungry, little eating machine, with a great big head, Mexican Giant Musk Turtles are what you're looking for.
Pictured in the top and middle photos are 3 week old juveniles.
Bottom photo shows a hatchling about to emerge from his egg - We have several different sizes/ages of these turtles available - we can determine the gender of the largest size (4 - 5 inch, 3 year olds)

A good turtle that I'm quite happy with.
She seems all right, except for a few minor blemishes that don't bother her. Good condition and overall intact, I mean she's really quite beautiful. Intact. Only just arrived a couple days ago, nothing wrong with her except she's scared of me. I'm a first time turtle owner and I'm very happy to have purchased my first turtle from theturtlesource. There are still a few issues with her waking up, the spirit is just too high, even though I have basically no aquascape in my tank, but she bites my filter hose every day. Dragging around and tearing at everything in the tank, even trying to chew on the heating rods... she's a real handful. I hope to get along with her down the road.

Mexican Giant Musk Turtle
My turtle was alert and healthy. He ate pellets and large blood worms on day one. I am extremely happy with my new addition to the family.

A cute little Mexican Musk
Fast shipment and arrived on time. The baby turtle is in very good condition. It got used to the tank in two days. And started eating and following my hand already. Highly recommended!!!

Mexican Giant Musk Turtle
Received the turtle back in September and he arrived healthy and in good condition. Was pretty short for the first month but is now very active and personable, he even watches and follows me around from inside the tank. Could not be happier!
