Provided a responsible/knowedgeable adult is there to assit the child with the correct way to look after the turtles they would be average pets. The main problem with reptiles and amphibians is that they do not respond too well to human handling and reactions. Far better for a child to have a mammal (dog? cat? mouse? rat?)as a pet.

Are mud turtles good pets for kids?

yes, they are. although I would not recommend turtles as a good kid pet anyway. if you are going to give your child a turtle, mud turtles are a good beginner turtle. as are box turtles. I have three turtles, a mud turtle, a box turtle, and a spotted turtle, and I am 13. Although it is also a question of how responsible you or your child is.
