I get two Malaclemys terrapin this week. I installed their enclosure already. I made brakish water into their setup. Does anyone keep that turtles and can give me some advice?
Malaclemys terrapin anyone?

I've never kept one but I've seen 100's of wild ones in my day. Just like any semi-aquatic turtle really. Only difference is they appreciate some salt in their water. Feeding is the same as the others. Turtle diet mixed with fresh meaty foods and greens.
Well what do you know about the two that you have acquired,were they captive bred?These happen to be my favorite of all turtles and I have kept them on a few different occasions...After learning that captives can tolerate fresh I have only kept them in brackish once and fed them raw shrimp and other seafood as well as pellets.
