Greetings from extreme south Louisiana!

Do you know what species your map turtle is?

It’s a Pearl River map, my friend got it 14 years ago as a hatchling when they were thought to be a subspecies of Pascagoula map.

I’m hoping to pull some native sphagnum moss today for my paludarium. I wonder if it would work like a living mulch or ground cover around plants in a bog filter On top of the grave?

Sphagnum can be grown in the aquarium but it is not the easiest it like acidic water and 99 percent of aquariums like neutral or alkaline

Thanks! I‘ve only found it growing in a few places around me, but it’s such a cool environment where it does show up. I’ll stick to just trying it in my paludarium in that case.
