Originally from North America, the Common Musk Turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) is a small freshwater turtle that is sometimes referred to as the Eastern Musk Turtle or Stinkpot.

Originally from North America, the Common Musk Turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) is a small freshwater turtle that is sometimes referred to as the Eastern Musk Turtle or Stinkpot. These turtles are intriguing and low-maintenance pets, so named because, when threatened, they may produce a foul-smelling musk from glands at the bridge of their shell. Their characteristic domed carapace, which can be black or greyish-brown and frequently has a smooth, glossy appearance, is what makes them famous. Natural Environment >From Florida and Texas in the south to Ontario and New York in the north, their natural range encompasses a large portion of the eastern United States and southeast Canada. Although they can tolerate a wide range of water conditions within this range, they exhibit a predilection for settings with clear, well-oxygenated water. Conduct and Qualities >Action: Common Musk Turtles are mostly nocturnal, which means that nighttime is when they are most active. They frequently hide behind logs and rocks or amid aquatic plants throughout the day. - Bottom Walkers: Common Musk Turtles are renowned for their bottom-walking activity, in contrast to many other turtle species that favor swimming. To find food, they move around the substrate with their strong limbs. >Qualities: The Common Musk Turtle is characterized by its dark, high-domed carapace, which can range in hue from black to brown and frequently has a smooth, glossy texture. Comparatively speaking to other turtles, the plastron, or underbelly of the shell, is smaller and cross-shaped, offering less protection. - Head and Neck: They have a huge head in relation to their body size, with barbels (whisker-like projections) on the throat and chin and pointed beaks. They also have a distinctive appearance due to a pair of light stripes that extend from the snout to the neck. >Nutrition and Foraging: >Social Conduct: >Because of their resilience and adaptability, common muskrats make wonderful companions for anyone prepared to provide the necessary care. Turtle fans find them to be an appealing option due to their distinct characteristics and manageable size.
