The Garden Pond

This is a small (90 gal.) pond in my flower garden. It was built for the turtle who outgrew her indoor tank. Rosebud the turtle is a Texas Red Eared Slider. She shares the space with four comet goldfish. No, the turtle dosen't try to eat the fish. I feed them a commercialy prepared food daily.

does she evr come out of her pond?

[wildstar1]

Yes, she'd bask out on the rocks all the time. Last spring however she climbed the fence and was never seen again.:( We're pretty sure she made it to a nearby swamp and is still living there, happily everafter.:)

Thanks for watching, merry Chriatmas!

I have some red ears and yellow belly terrapins in my pond. I live in the North of England and although winters are pretty cold the terrapins re-appear in the spring looking good as new. I wouldn't mind living in a slightly warmer climate like yours - I only really see my terrapins and fish for about half of the year. Check out my pond on my channel.

That's great! I love my turtles and they make it through the winters just fine. They can take pretty cold weather as long as the pond dosen't freeze completely. They will hibernate at the bottom until it gets warm enough to comemback out.

Thanks for watching!

[wildstar1]

Yes, turtles can climb very well. We have a turtle proof fence though.:)

Thanks for watching!

@wildstar1 try installing a wooden fence around your home, so stray cat's or animal's won't try to harm it.

They would only stink if you don't properly clean their environment.
