I thought that loggerheads have a gular scute as well, at least what I learned from someone else's video. There at least appears to be some sort of outline of an 11th scute. I thought it was one way to differentiate them from Razorbacks. I bought a male Razorback but it has Loggerhead characteristics and I'm not sure which one it is.
Hi, thanks for another nice video from the habitat of Sternotherus odoratus, I like these turtles and I also keep them, thanks to the video I can create a more natural environment for them in the aquarium.
Concave doesn’t apply to musks or sliders. Generally, concavity is to aid in mounting and maintaining mount in land based species. Some Clemmys species have some degree of concavity, but sliders, cooters, maps, snappers, musk and mud turtles both sexes have flat plastrons
Hi ho, Unless you have personally observed beavers eating mussels, your statement that beavers eat mussels isn't valid. The literature says beavers are herbivores exclusively, not omnivores. Your assumption would be easy to make but inaccurate. Like your videos!
Gregs Turtle Haven Thank you for your reply. Most interesting. Wonder ? if beaver was chewing on mussel for calcium -- can't be much of that in tree bark. There are reputable reports of deer chewing degraded animal bones, supposedly for mineral supplements to their diets.
Honestly I think stinkpots are underrated, they are just so beautiful and the stripes on their heads are so awesome
Agreed!
They really do just look like little stones. I love seeing the little stinkpots bumping around in our local lake.
Something common does not mean boring. Stink pots are awesome, they have Pokémon factor! I choose you StinkPots!
That wink at 5:29 😭😍
Right. 😉
That last stinkpot had a really nice look. I really liked the colors on the plastron.
Awe shiiii... A nice start to the weekend here!
Hooty hoo
FHF: 😊🙏
FHF featuring musks: 😍😍😍😍
March Musk Madness!
these videos always make my day
Love to see the musk turtles! They are all underrated little turtles. 🤙🏼🐢

Great video Greg, I really enjoyed that!

Another amazing herp thank you for the footage
Thanks for watching!
I can't really tell if it is loggerhead or razerback when they are hatchlings...
💚
Love the Musk videos.
Favorite musk besides loggerhead and striped?
All of them 👍🏼
Hi Greg, what kind of substrate/sand is laying on the bottom of the creek? I am trying to make a proper biotope for my mud and musk turtle.
Sand, gravel, rock
So the first one had the Concave shell? Or is that only for Pond sliders?

@@GregsTurtleHaven Interesting
No ce
Love stinkpot, have 3 of them. Try to reach loggerhead but can't find any, are they forbid for export?
Many are caught or poached here for export. So many in fact, local populations are dwindling or even wiped out

Like your videos!
I’ve seen a beaver gnawing on a small mussel at night. Not sure what nutritional needs it fills, but I’ve witnessed it first hand.

@@Alamito24 wouldn’t surprise me if it were for calcium or to wear down incisors
