Cork bark (above) & natural driftwood (below) provide cover for this Mississippi mud turtle to feel secure. A palludarium-style planted land area to walk around on would be a nice touch (albeit a hassle to implement & manage), but in a separate enclosure when provided such this turtle dug underground & would aestivate for months despite good conditions.
