Common Musk Turtle

[downthebeatenpath]

Got this little guy around a year ago, my herpetology professor actually breeds many species of turtles and every year he adopts them out to his students which is pretty cool.

And here are some pics when I first got him, he was so tiny.

Do you know how your professor provides layboxes to his musks?
