ABOUT: MISSISSIPPI MAP TURTLE TURTLE BREED
The Mississippi Map Turtle, scientifically known as Graptemys pseudogeographica kohnii, is a freshwater turtle species native to the Mississippi River basin. These turtles are known for their intricate shell patterns resembling contour maps, which help them blend into their natural aquatic habitats. Mississippi Map Turtles exhibit distinct gender dimorphism, with males having longer tails and claws compared to females. They are omnivores, feeding on a diet of aquatic plants, insects, and small fish. As popular pets, they require spacious aquatic habitats with ample basking spots for their well being.
