I'm thinking about getting a Male Musk Turtle Hatchling. To go with my two Russians. I have thought it all through, and I would get them after I came back from Europe. (In august) I was looking for a place to buy them. I started with pet stores, and I didn't see any pet stores around where I live (In Utah), I'm VERY picky about where my tortoises come from, and I want to get a good look at them to make sure they have had the proper care, because I am NOT giving money to ANY business that doesn't care for reptiles properly. So, I had to look online for them. I am even MORE picky about websites, because you can't look at the animal. I've seen a few, TurtleSupply.com and reptile magazines. I don't like ANY of those. Turtlesupply did not give enough information, and it was 'dodgey' and they kept saying 'with minor shell imperfections' so I was like NOPE. I tried reptile magazines. But they said they 'couldn't guarantee the sex.' And with turtles, females get twice as big as males, and right now I am very space tight. Also, I read stories about how they make up fake people to give them good reviews, and how they got a reptile and it died in a weak. (I COULD be wrong with everything I am saying. If you got a turtle in good shape from any of these sights please tell me). So, again I said no to that. If anybody has ordered a turtle and it came in good shape, and you trust that website please tell me. I MIGHT buy a Musk turtle from one of you guys on the forum. For I feel that everybody here is at least a responsible caretaker. But I would like pictures of them, along with a full background them. (How old they are, what there cage is like, behavior, etc..) A full bio of them is needed. I'm no expert with turtles, I ordered a book about them. If any of you have interesting information about them feel free to tell me. Thanks!
