Those are good prices. My regular LFS said they could order me a Musk Turtle but it would cost €80 - over £60...
 ...I've been reading up on the behaviour of all three turtle types mentioned in my OP and the synopsis seems to be that:Maps (5-6") - avid swimmers and baskers - can be skittish and only the males stay small - very messy so high water quality is essential Musks (4-5") - an active species but tend to be more nocturnal - don't bask as much as other species - can be shy and require ample tank decor Muds (3-4") - poor swimmers and need extra land area - shallow water level required - not as fussy about water quality but strong filtration recommended Is this a fair assessment of all three genera? Based on those criteria, I'd prefer a male Map or a Musk but I'm just balking a little at the price of the latter...

Sounds about right, but I would always maintain that pristine water quality is essential for all species, there's no excuse for dirty water.
