Posted: Mon Jun 18, 2018 12:08 pm Inherited male & female res. Want to put in existing outside
The female is 8" the male is 6". Been in aquariums of ever increasing sizes for 8 years. I've had them for 6mos. Just put them in kiddie pool for the summer on deck of house and bring them in at night. I would like to put out them in my outside pond. I think they would be happier (yes? no?) I have questions: 1. Would they have predators outside? 2. Would they wander away. 3. Do they need direct sunlight to bask? Pond is in bright shade with some sunlight. 4. Live in Zone 7B in north western SC. 5. Stream/pond system so water is clean and stays open throughout winter unless freezing for over a week. I just want happy res's.
