Diamondback Terrapin

I came across this site last night and thought it was very cool. I hear they can take brackish water and some people allow the turtles to go in a hypo(ish) reef tank for a short swim even.

must be a challenging species due to their being brackish, are you considering this or do you already have any of these?

they are also either endangered or protected here in GA. I don't know if those lists are federal...

my aunt has one in her pond.. it's been there for about 3 years.
so being out of brackish water can't hurt then, can it?
he is able to leave if he wants, but he doesn't and there is brackish water about 100 feet from the pond.
