Hudson the Bog Turtle

Introducing the smallest turtle known to the United States - Hudson, the bog turtle. And when we say 'small' we mean it; these tiny reptiles grow to the size of the palm of your hand.

An endangered species found sparsely throughout the wetlands of Virginia, Maryland, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey & Massachusetts, bog turtles have fewer than 200 habitable sites left. Primary threats to their survival are loss of habitat and illegal collecting….so please leave them be!

The bog turtle is the state reptile of New Jersey. Hudson is named after the Hudson Valley in New York where the bog turtle thrived in the once numerous wetlands.

During colder months, bog turtles hibernate underwater in deep areas of bogs in up to 18 inches of mud. And, they can live up to 40 years.
