Tiny turt update time! 🐢💕 The hatchling Eastern Musk Turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) who arrived on Halloween is doing very well! This tiny patient is overwintering in our care after a suspected predator dug up their nest, which we suspect they and their siblings were using to overwinter. Unlike Box Turtles, aquatic turtles have no saliva, meaning that they must be in water to swallow their food. This patient is placed into a separate tank (a small loaf pan) for each feeding, which happens twic

Eastern Musk Turtle Habitat
A male loggerhead musk turtle from a small rocky stream. In prime habitat, loggerhead musk turtles can get in very high densities, and sometimes squabbling and fighting can occur. Typical confrontations involve biting the marginals (edge of the shell) until one individual retreats. #turtles #wildlife #sternotherus #animals #nature | Greg’s Turtle Haven

Stripeneck musk turtles are unique in their preference for colder waters, especially flowing clear trouts streams meandering through foothills and woodlands. Like their close relatives the loggerhead musk turtles, these little tanks develop heavy set jaws and enlarged heads for crushing hard snails, their favorite food. #turtles #wildlife #sternotherus #animals | Greg’s Turtle Haven

Eastern Musk Turtles are small in stature, but BIG in personality and willingness to choose violence... And we honestly love them for that. 😇 Our most common turtle patient, the Eastern Box Turtle, tends to be much more docile due to its ability to "box up" completely and hide from danger. Box turtles still have a severe bite when they need to defend themselves from a persistent predator (or staff member grabbing their foot to give meds), but usually they opt for a passive defense first.

Meet "Butter"! Butter is an eastern musk turtle recently donated to the Museum. The eastern musk turtle, native to the southeast United States, is among the smallest turtles in North America. Butter is an adult but is less than 4" long! Musk turtles are highly aquatic and only occasionally emerge from the water to bask, and it is common for them to gave algae covered shells . They are sometimes mistaken for baby snapping turtles, but they have smoother shells and shorter tails than snappers. The

Turtle zoomies! 🐢💨 Meet little Marzipan, who you might remember from our earlier post about her mom, Lemna. When I stopped by to check her tank at the end of the day, I caught her doing lap after lap — full-on turtle zoomies! I wish she hadn’t noticed me, but turtles are very perceptive and always seem to clue in quickly when they’re being watched. Marzipan hatched from one of four eggs laid by Lemna, an eastern musk turtle who came into our clinic this spring. Lemna made a full recovery and r
