So tiny; what an adorable baby turtle.

I just adore how tiny turtles and tortoises are when first hatched. Too cute.

As of today, 38 grams. No idea if this growth is ok as this is my first mud turtle experience, but super vigorous and eats anything.
Maybe it is a sulcata after all

Cool! Show an update!

Muds can grow pretty fast. They grow really fast if you consider how small their adult size is. Ernst says Kinosternon baurii can reach maturity in captivity very fast (23 months in males and 27 or 29 months in females). Sorry I am going off memory.

Wow, now that's red! If you have an opportunity to get one, I'd support that decision.
