Taking care of map turtles are more difficult to take care than other turtles. (except for snapping turtles) Map turtles should be taken care of a keeper who is experienced because taking care of map turtles are harder than other species. A map turtle has a higher nervous system than other turtles, and are sensible to water changes or condition. Map turtles only thrive well in very clean water, so you must get a strong…

Either your map turtle is too cold to eat, and is preparing for hibernation, your turtle recently noticed a big change (like a new tank, new tank arrangement, or you traveled with your turtle) or your map turtle is sick. Check the water and basking temperatures to make sure they are hot enough. Water and basking temperatures depend on what specific species your map turtle is, but is around 70 degrees Fahrenheit for water temperature…

A Mississippi Mud Turtle is a Semi-Aquatic turtle and as such, it will breathe not only from it's mouth, but needs to have adequate filtration in its tank so that way it can breathe subcutaneously, that is, through their skin (like a frog does) when it is sleeping in the water at night. But mostly, it breathes through its mouth.

Well here are SOME household PET turtle breeds; Map Turtle Red Eared Slider Yellow Bellied

Miniature turtle? That doesn't really tell us anything about the species...there is no such type of turtle as a "miniature turtle". Turtle species all have very unique needs. My advice is to find a reptile forum and ask your questions there, and perhaps include photos so that you may identify its species and care for it properly.

It does not.
