Is the Key! Me, myself and I deciced to but a pre-made 100g. pond in my backyard for my turtles. Well, those turtles got out during a warm summer flood
. I am not that worried about it since they are native to my area, but disappointed in myself for not seeing a massive flaw:wall:. I never had a fence around the whole pond and I only had a fence around their basking area, and kept the pond itself 3" below the standard water level. Meaning, the non-athletic turtles would never get out of the pond, except their basking area. Flooding destroys that "fence" I created! It worked great for about 2 years. . .so I do recommand it but watch out for flooding!
Now for my situation. Now that the turtles are gone, and my roommates don't want the creatures anymore:mad2:, I don't know what to do with it! It has dierct sunlight, algea heaven. It is slightly under a fungus infected tree, nasty leave maintence. Plus, I found out the waterfall is leaking due to the erosion from the bad winter we had. I might get rid of the whole thing but I love it! What do you recommand doing with it? Anyone? I want some imput from you guys as well as the internt as well!!
