Musk turtle health

[Arachne]

Hi, I’d really appreciate some opinions on my musk turtle. Does s/he appear overweight? And is the plastron healthy looking? I’ve looked at a few guides online but I’m still not sure!

Thank you so much for any info

I know little to nothing on Musk turtles. However, I see nothing concerning.

Maybe @Markw84 can let you know

I have an overweight musk turtle (currently on a diet). Yours looks just fine to me.
It’s my understanding that Musk turtles aren’t really designed to fit fully inside their shells like box turtles. They can rely more on speed and agility for escape. And probably some pretty good snapping/biting, too! At least that’s what my musk turtle, Nelson, tells me! 😁🙃

Nelson is a razor backed musk turtle.❤️
What kind is yours? 😃
