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.

    Shy little boy

    My little guy came and he arrived very shy, but he is doing well now. Very active and seems to be enjoying his tank very well. TheTurtleSource has been doing a wonderful job with these animals, so I always have good faith in them when I purchase from them.

    Overnight shipping was great. The turtle came in happy and healthy. If I want another turtle/tortoise I will be buying them from here.

    Turtles arrived today

    Posted by Mathew Douglas on Jan 5th 2022

    2 stinkpots arrived very healthy and very active. I was concerned about shipping because I've had a bad experience elsewhere but was able to speak very quickly with someone who assured me they will be fine. They were right and im currently sitting in front of my tank watching my new babies. Will be a customer again.
