Three-striped mud turtles are generally not aggressive and rarely bite humans. They may nip if they feel threatened or handled improperly, but such behavior is uncommon. These turtles typically rely on their shells for protection rather than aggression. Overall, they are more inclined to retreat than to bite when faced with danger.
Tortoises, box turtles and mud turtles are all found in deserts of North America.
how long do mud turtles live?
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.
mud turtles eat all kinds of stuff they eat fish, algee, reptomin floating food sticks,and carrots my turtle tortuga eats all of these exept the fish couse he's REALLY dumb and has really bad aim andby the time he gets over there and tries to bite the fish is gone but most other mud turtles can eat them btw DO NOT FEED YOUR MUD TURTLE SPINICH!!!! they are allergic to it!
