Active And Strong Little Turtles

The Mississippi Map Turtle is my go-to turtle because it is friendly and sociable with other turtle species. This turtle loves deep water and is a strong and active swimmer, making it easy for beginners to care for it. Despite its friendly nature, this tortoise is quite shy and easily startled.
