I made a little playground for my turtles. I have 5 Red-Eared Sliders and a Yellow-Bellied Slider in there. They love the land area as they spend all day up there basking. They only use the pond to eat and sleep :D. All of the rocks and stuffs that i used to build this are stuffs that i found in my backyard (we used to have a Koi pond). I only bought the water pump to make the waterfall-filter.

  • do the hibernate during winter

  • a couple of mine dug holes n hibernate, most of them don't though

  • do u need a filter in a pondd?

  • yup u sure do.  I made mine with a water pump i got at Home Depot

  • hi! I have a question, I have a pond and a basking area like yours for my sliders too, but I'm afraid that stray/ wild animals can wander by and attack my turtles !!! what can I do to prevent that ??? thanks a lot first ^^

  • a lot of stray cats wander in my backyard, but im not worried though. they can't hurt turtles.. at least not mine anyways. if you still afraid.. you could get one of those motion sensor water spray thing... hook it up to your water hose, stick it down the dirt facing your pond and whenever it detects movement, it will shoot out water and scare them away.. Don't forget to turn it off when ur around though.. or else... lol.. happened to me before
