Habitat - Outdoor :: My summer pond

I completely agree with Pam. Each turtle carries it's own responsibilities, it's not easy keeping multiple RES!

4 out of 5 are res and they do pretty well with each other

At toys r us there is a larger kiddie pool that you can get for about $20 or less. I would then add some water plants. You could put a pot with a water lilly so they can hide under the leaves. You could put the pot in the middle of the little pond and they would sit right on the top of the pot. Also floating plants like water lettuce, which will spread and some oxiginating plants to keep the water cleaner. You could add some snails for food. I usually go to a local pond and get some duck weed and add that which will cover the pond and add shade too. You can order plants on line at any pond store. You could also throw in a log for them to bask on and eliminate the bricks. This will help. But I would deffinately get a larger kddie pool.....they will be much happier.

Yeah I want to get a bigger one. And No floating docks for me right now. I dont want them to get out and I dont have a lid for the top of the sand box yet...

Def will, I just need to get some wood and stuff. I cleaned out the pond water yesterday because the sun made it really algae like in a week or two so I put something over it so the sun dont hit it as much now and i also used old tank water from the indoor tank so that its okay for the turtles. Will def post pics tho after im done and happy with it.
