Proper tank setup Mississippi Map Turtles should use a minimum of a 75-gallon tank size for one adult male, but if with a female turtle, use a tank of at least 125 gallons. In addition, it provides enough space for them to bask and creates a special basking area with a flat surface for the turtles to dry themselves. You must also use a good filter to maintain water quality and live or artificial aquatic plants to mimic their natural habitat.

The tank should be equipped with a basking lamp with UVB light to facilitate the Mississippi map turtle's vitamin D synthesis.

Good luck!!! 😁

The Mississippi Map Turtle (Graptemys pseudogeographica kohni) is an aquatic turtle that includes 14 species of turtles in the genus Graptemys with patterns on the shell that look similar to the contour lines of heights on an elevation map. This type of turtle is very fond of strong currents and deep water. This is because the Mississippi Map Turtle comes from rivers with strong currents.
