Mud turtles natural habitat is in northern and eastern America
Well it depends where they live because if they live in the desert or in a really hot place they will either bury underground or find water and live there. If its a cooler place or a place that has lots of mud then the turtles will live in that instead. i hope this helps ;D
Most mud turtles live in freshwater or partly salty ponds or ditches with lots of plants and alge. in captivity they should be given about 50% water and 50% land so that they can rest. they also need clean water and a good filtration system.
A turtles habitat is a dirty place. lots of plants growing there and plenty of fish to eat.
how long do mud turtles live?
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!
Yes adult mud turtles are often hunted by alligators.
Musk and Mud turtles can be found anywhere from eastern and southern USA to Argentina.

Mud turtles are Semi-Aquatic turtles. Even though they spend much more of their time in the water compared to Sliders, Painted and Map turtles, they do come out on land to bask or to travel to a new area.
They bury themselves in the soft mud at the bottom of the lake until warm weather returns.
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.
no turtles do not hibernate in mud I think I would look it up in case I might be wrong but I don't think they do
no and yes
Tortoises, box turtles and mud turtles are all found in deserts of North America.
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.
