Mississippi Mud Turtle for Sale

One of the smallest and best species to keep, the Mississippi Mud Turtle (Kinosternon subrubrum), is now available for sale. These turtles are a joy to have in a tank. They are very active, learn to recognize their keepers, and forage endlessly along the bottom of their tank. These are one of the world’s smallest turtles, with a typical adult size of barely four inches. They are tiny when born, and well-started hatchlings are only an inch long at best.

Mississippi Mud Turtle for Sale Near Me

Also known as Striped Mud Turtles, they are found in coastal South Carolina and Georgia, south through peninsular Florida and the Keys. Because much of their range has been heavily developed in recent decades, habitat destruction and road kills have threatened this species significantly. All range states now appropriately protect this species. Captive breeding of Three Striped Mud Turtles has made great strides in recent years, making them more available for sale online and nearby.

Mississippi Mud Turtles do not need a large tank. Well-started hatchlings are very small and do well in the smallest of tanks. A 20-gallon “long” aquarium can easily house 2 or 3 adults for life. They like shallow water with a bit of gravel and lots of underwater “tank furniture” (plastic plants, rocks, logs, etc.). We raise ours on pellets, occasionally giving them cut fish, cut beef heart, and small earthworms. They happily take any type of protein food, enjoy small insects and crustaceans, and will learn to eat from your hand if you like. They get along with any similarly sized mud or musk turtles.
