Hello
I live in Key west, Florida and am interested in musk turtles . A couple of friends have maps or albino sliders outside all year in ponds.
The turtles thrive and breed.
However reading about musks it looks like they are sensitive to chilly winter nights and though most nights average 70s or high 60s during Jan/Feb we might get a freak cold night now and than of high 50s (usually high 70s or 80s during day).
I was planning on a 75 gallon stock pond with mesh top , stock tank will be in half sun half shade area but the occasional chilly winter night concerns me.
Anyone keep musks outside?
I narrowed it down to razormusk, stinkpot and 3 striped mud.
Thanks
