I'm considering buying a yearling....but I can't find any info on them. I'm assuming they're similar to most other muds and musks like razorback musks and three striped muds?

I have 2 females and their care is very similar to all the other Kinosternidae. Mine aren't aggressive at all but both of them are very friendly and constantly beg for food. The one basks for a few hours a day while the other basks rarely. They are bottom walkers so a good amount of floor space is recommended as opposed to deep water.
