I have a mud turtle and I've had her for about 8 years. She lives in a tank of mostly water with a small spot for her to get out under a heat lamp. She does like to get under things sometimes (when she was younger I'd find her buried under the rocks) so they do like to hide sometimes but no they don't have to live in the mud.

Can mud turtles to live alone and be happy?
Mud turtles can live alone and together, but if having snapping turtles they prefer to live alone as the might be more aggressive to each other. However mud turtles prefer to live alone, but are happy with others, if alone they might need some more attention, and more things to do in it's home. When they are together less attention is needed but watch out as they may not approve of each other and be aggressive!
