Here in Michigan as a kid I would find musk turtle hatchlings smaller than a nickel. My mom couldn't believe it was a turtle and not some kind of bug or beetle.
I love being able to see the best practices for caring for turtles. They are adorable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely! Chris and Casey you are doing amazing work.
Magnus is the sweetest little guy. It is wonderful to see the care you take with all your residents. I don’t think I have ever seen a turtle that small before.🖤🇨🇦

I'm blessed to have 3-7 Eastern muds in my driveway culvert they patrol my ditch when it fills. I imagine they cross the road to the brackish creek on the regular for more food sources
While on vacation in South Carolina this week, we came across this exact same turtle on the road and saved it. After watching your video, we decided to give it a home.
I raised 4 to 5 river turtles with the orange around their shells. They were size of quarters when my husband rescued from mud puddles n being ran over and a tiny ugly baby pigeon. Tgey went from inside aquariums to the largest plastic pools. They were moved inside our basement in winter and would get on their woiden stumos and watch me wash and fold clothes. We moved near his job n one day it rained n i wasnt there to empty water out of the pool n they all got out n went bacj to the same place they were born at. Id love to have more to raise. A snapping turtle came in our yard my dogs were barking at it. Lol came out of landlords pind about 1/2 to 3/4 mile away so we took to next pond up on our dead end road. As a kid i had the turtle they sold. 😊
That is almost more cuteness than I can handle this early in the morning! I wish that you would have the girls make him some teeny tiny little paper and cardboard buildings that he could destroy 😍😍😍
I’ve always loved mud turtles but never knew they hatch that small. My question is why do some turtles and tortoises need UVB and UVA light and heat source while others do not? PS the name is so perfect!
Curious if you can keep this species outside in a climate like Southern California in like a contained pond or even in a glass tank outside under a patio cover or something.
Hi!! I know you might not respond but what is the best type of tortoise or turtle to own? Because I am looking for one but it would be my first time as a tortoise owner.
How could that of hatched from this year? It would have been last years hatchling from late fall and brumated over winter and just come out now. What’s the latest that turtles will lay eggs? Or I should ask is what’s the latest you have seen hatchlings?I only ask is because I bought a “ hatchling “ was supposed to be a well started baby from one of the on line sites in November. Won’t say from which one but it was a hatchling days old and I could not get it to eat. I have many turtle’s and a lot of experience but I just couldn’t get it to eat and after 3 weeks it died. I was wondering if it was possibly wild caught in November and was trying to Brumate and that’s why it wouldn’t eat and died . I was keeping it from doing that
I found one in a local pond in eastern NC… he hasn’t grown any and we have had him about 3 months already… do yoi think he will grow? Or does anyone know how long it takes for them to grow?

What an adorable micro-turtle! Magnus is beautiful!
Such a tiny little fella! I bet he will be a "mighty" personality one day. Little Magnus, so cute. 🥰
Very cute until it takes a chunk out of you it would probably be pretty close to a beetle biting you.
Here in Michigan as a kid I would find musk turtle hatchlings smaller than a nickel. My mom couldn't believe it was a turtle and not some kind of bug or beetle.
Right they are about the size of a dime or penny
@@emilymcfarland8807 even at that tiny size, they produce a musky, farty smell that's pretty strong.
Mud and musks are way underrated. Love seeing any of mine from time to time in my backyard pond. The clean up crew!
The stinkpots are pretty small. Max out around 5”. Razor backs are slightly larger but not by much
I love being able to see the best practices for caring for turtles. They are adorable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely! Chris and Casey you are doing amazing work.
Magnus is absolutely cuteness overload!!! 🐢❤️🐢
Magnus is the sweetest little guy. It is wonderful to see the care you take with all your residents. I don’t think I have ever seen a turtle that small before.🖤🇨🇦
Never ever stop doing it just the way you do it ... . Much better than any books ... thumbs up and thanks a damn lot
Oh my gosh, they are so tiny! I would never have guessed. Glad you shared Magnus with us.
Oh my goodness, Magnus is just precious. What an amazing life you all have built for you and the kids. 🥰

I'm blessed to have 3-7 Eastern muds in my driveway culvert they patrol my ditch when it fills. I imagine they cross the road to the brackish creek on the regular for more food sources
I had mud turtles as pets when I was younger , I always called them the little turtle with an Attitude .
That name for the turtles is soooooooo cuuuuuuuuuute💞💞💞
Oh my goodness Magnus is so cute, tiny little creature. Hope Magnus does well and grows up to be a giant 5in turtle!
Amazing little turtles, I remember finding hatching Common Musk turtles when I was a kid and they were amazing and really tiny.

The perfect friend to take anywhere ❤ as long as there's no predators.
What a little cutie 😊❤
It's so cute.

Cute little buggers aren't they ;-)
Your facilities are so cool!!
It’s so cute
Cool...Tiny Tim Turtle. :)
Eating gummy bears while watching this lol 0:04
Magnus is sure he’s tough as nails, for a thumbnail sized turtle
Cute little creature. I can't help but wonder what he is thinking of, being held between giant fingers.
Omg it's so stinking cute I can't stand it 😫 ❤❤❤❤❤. I'm in love.
Very lovely! I do like to have one as a pet and friend!
It's so cute!
Very cool. I come across quite a few nests every year but I’ve never seen hatchlings at the nest.
That is almost more cuteness than I can handle this early in the morning! I wish that you would have the girls make him some teeny tiny little paper and cardboard buildings that he could destroy 😍😍😍
Cute little guy.
just a little kiss for mr magnus
Awesome video and content. ❤
I enjoy your videos.
Magnificent Magnus…
so fantasticating🙂
That ain't a nugget. That's a BEAN!!!
Ive literally found those the size of my pinky nail super cool didn't even look real
Mud turtles are awesome
OMG, so adorable lay teensie! Hehe, if you find another it needs to be named Minimus or Omgie (OMG-ie 😉)
awwwwww soooo cuteeeeee LOVE 🥹🐢💕💕💕💕💕
Wow!
They do not have a very social personality, generally, don’t you think?
I’ve always loved mud turtles but never knew they hatch that small. My question is why do some turtles and tortoises need UVB and UVA light and heat source while others do not? PS the name is so perfect!
im cryingggg
BEGGING to be BIOACTIVE!
Soooo tiny! #ReptileArmy #BrianStrong💜☮️🥰
Theyre actually not the smallest, the vallarta mud turtles( kinosternon vogti) are. This turtle species was actually discovered in 2018!
Curious if you can keep this species outside in a climate like Southern California in like a contained pond or even in a glass tank outside under a patio cover or something.
😍
Hi!! I know you might not respond but what is the best type of tortoise or turtle to own? Because I am looking for one but it would be my first time as a tortoise owner.
He's as cute as the dickens!
This guy is cool
Turtles are cool also
So cool 👍👍👍

❤👌
Just out of curiosity, do these Musk turtles NEVER need UVB? Or is it applicable for the babies and the adults will need it?
Aaaaaw❤
I found one in a local pond in eastern NC… he hasn’t grown any and we have had him about 3 months already… do yoi think he will grow? Or does anyone know how long it takes for them to grow?
🥰🥰🥰
The head and beak looks a bit like snapping turtles I find where I live, is there any relation?
What does such a small baby eat?
What do you feed when they’re that small
