Two CB 2013 Razorback musk turtles (Sternotherus carinatus)
Species: Razorback musk turtles are cute, curious and a small sized species. Adults are usually in the 6" range.
Enclosure: Outdoor housing whenever possible is the best way to go. They are bottom dwellers but good swimmers. While they don't bask a whole lot they will and do bask and so logs protruding out of the water and a land area are highly recommended.
Diet: These hatchlings are feeding on thawed frozen blood worms, thawed frozen beef heart, Omega One juvenile pellets and zoomed hatchling pellets. As they grow you can add night crawlers, snails and other bugs to their diet along with fish (mine go nuts for salmon) and cooked meat.
Who am I? My name is Michael. I am a software engineer by profession and conservationist by passion. I have been keeping and caring for turtles and tortoises since 2001. I breed a few species of turtles and tortoises with a focus on Asian species. I offer captive bred hatchlings to others with the hope of getting them started with healthy well started animals so they will have a good experience and will enjoy the hobby and hopefully down the road will help with chelonian conservation.
What to expect: I am happy to answer any questions you have, before and after the transaction is over. The most important thing for me is that my hatchlings get a good home so if you are new to the hobby then I am happy to help you with every aspect of their care. E-mail is the best way to stay in touch with me but as time permits I will be happy to answer your questions via a call. My support does not stop once the hatchling reaches you and you are welcome to call me or e-mail me whenever you have any questions. I do not have a web site, yet, but please note that I am NOT in the business of selling animals. I am a hobbyist who breeds many species with the goal of making available healthy hatchlings for others to have a successful and enjoyable experience.
