Hi Guys
My friend just got this turtle here in China.
The guy told him (in Chinese) it was a Helmet turtle (direct translation from Chinese to English)
I don't have much experience with muddies but I think it may be an Eastern Mud Turtle ???
What do you guys think ?
@cdmay :)
I've heard all about this impaction risk which has often got me to wondering where it all came from?
See I'm quite a practical thinker and I see things that maybe others miss.

And it took me nowhere....!
It's not quite finished yet but from the pictures you can get the general idea.
I'm using an INTEX kiddies paddling pool 1.22 x 1.22 x 30cm
Atman 1550L canister filter
This is a Work in Progress and as time goes by I will update this thread.
Ha!
So after reexamining Roger (I think I got the age wrong too) he is 7cm long so that would mean him around 18 months old....
Right ?
His tail is very short!
His front claws are very short!
His plastron seems flat! (when I looked before I didn't realise mud turtles had the hinged plastron)...
Hi
I have a Red cheeked mud turtle in a large outdoor pond habitat all on his lonesome....
So....
I would like to add a musk turtle and a razorback ...
Can they live together in an outside pond 1.22m x 1.22m 23cm deep with a 40cm x 60cm planted basking area ?
Ps... I have seen videos on...
Hi
I have a Red Cheeked Mud Turtle "Roger" is his/her name.
I know a little about sexing as I had a female Cooter and a male Map turtle before but sadly they died as I didn't know they couldn't eat goldfish due to vitamin D overdosing :( ... One day I woke up and they had both gone totally...
