sera guide - Biotope terrariums for reptiles and amphibians

1515 Brief facts: Aquaterrarium inhabitants Basically, all sufficiently small terrapin species are suited for keeping in an aquater- rarium. However, this may have to be very large, depending on the terrapin species. We will now present you two terrapin species that remain rather small, and which are easy to keep. Anyone looking for something special will certainly like the ar- chaic looking Common Musk Tur- tle. Due to their intraspecific ag- gression they are very well suited for keeping them as singles. This species can also be kept in a pond during summer. The animals should be allowed to hibernate. Body length 8 – 14 cm ( 3.1 – 5.5 in.)
