The Columbian mud turtle cannot be kept in deep water because the Columbian mud turtle lives in smaller streams and sometimes builds burrows in the soil layered with foliage. Next, let's take a look at other information about the Columbian mud turtle!

The Columbian mud turtle has a light gray neck, limbs and tail. Males have horny junctions on their thighs and lower limbs, and both males and females have horn-like tail spines at the ends of their tails. In addition, we can distinguish between males and females by looking at whether there are scale-shaped horny junctions on the inside of the hind legs. Males are larger in size and have long and thick tails, while females are usually about 15 cm in length and have shorter tails.
